Tory Chief Whip Chris Heaton-Harris has escalated a review of the claims.
Mr. Heaton-Harris, who is in charge of Tory MP's discipline, was initially said to be looking into the matter-before he asked for it to be referred to Parliament's Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS).
A spokesperson for his office said" "Upon conclusion of any ICGS investigation the chief whip will take appropriate action."
The female minister said the incident occurred last week and she had also seen the MP watching porn during a hearing of a select committee, The Times reported.
A second female Tory MP said she had witnessed the same man watching porn inside the Commons and she had tried but been unable to capture video proof.
It comes just days after a renewed debate about the culture in Westminister was sparked by a Mail on Sunday story which claimed Deputy Labour Leader Angela Rayner sometimes tries to distract Boris Johnson during Prime Minister's Questions by crossing and uncrossing her legs.

Wranker!
I come from the school that says all have sinned starting with myself.
I’m just trying to “level the playing field”.
I can’t live with the notion that one nation is morally superior to others even my own.
The decline of British moral values is a long story that Peter Hitchens has delved into more than myself.
