Ken Livingstone has been suspended by the Labour Party over comments he made while defending an MP at the centre of an anti-Semitism row.
The ex-London mayor will be investigated for "bringing the party into disrepute".
Labour MP John Mann, who accused Mr Livingstone of being a "Nazi apologist" in a confrontation outside a BBC studio, faces a reprimand.
Mr Mann had been referring to comments Mr Livingstone made about Adolf Hitler.
"The Chief Whip has summoned John Mann MP to discuss his conduct," Labour said in a statement.
The row was prompted by the suspension of Labour MP Naz Shah over comments she made about Israel on social media.

Labour criticism of Mr Livingstone mounted when he appeared on BBC Radio London defending Naz Shah - and said he had never heard anyone in the Labour Party say anything anti-Semitic.
