LONDON The opposition Conservative Party on Sunday suspended a European Parliament lawmaker who was fined by customs for bringing marijuana and homosexual pornog­ raphy into Britain. Tom Spencer, 50, a mem­ ber of the Conservative group in the European Union's parliament, based in Strasbourg, France, paid $900 to customs in an out-of-court settlement after pornograph­ ic videos, magazines and a small amount of marijuana were found in his briefcase during a routine check at London's Heathrow Airport. Such settlements are usually confi­ dential and mean individuals do not have to appear in court. However, news of the fine was leaked to newspapers at the weekend. Spencer said he would not stand for re-elec­ tion to the European Parliament in June, adding that he would understand if the Tories decided to drop him. “I am gay, I have always been gay,” Spencer told reporters, standing alongside his wife, Elizabeth, out­ side their home in Churt, Surrey.
