National MP Andrew Bayly wants to clear up details of events that led him to resign his ministerial roles. 

It was after allegations in February he'd placed a hand on a staffer's upper arm, during what he called an animated discussion.

No formal complaint was made - but he says that's contrary to what he was led to believe and he now regrets resigning. 

He says multiple things prompted him to quit.

"It wasn't just the formal complaint, it was the statement that three people corroborated the allegations and that was what made me get to a position where I offered my resignation."
