Sam Uffindell's political future may not continue beyond next year's election.

It’s emerged the new National MP for Tauranga took part in an attack on a younger boy at Auckland's Kings College more than two decades ago.

He advised the National Party, but he and the party didn't disclose the incident to the public.

Massey University political commentator Grant Duncan told Kate Hawkesby National is in for some tough questions this week.

He says reporters will be asking why the party didn't tell voters and what did party leader Chris Luxon know and when.
