National's newest MP has admitted he physically and mentally hurt other students while he was at school.

Sam Uffindell was kicked out of King's College 22 years ago after beating a 13-year-old in a dormitory.

The incident has followed him to Parliament this week and has flung the National Party into damage control.

RNZ political reporter Katie Scotcher has the story.
