One might hope such things would be checked before people get on the list of approved candidates to stand in Parliamentary Elections. Aside from anything else there's a reputational issue for the party if somebody turns out to have a criminal or otherwise problematic history - serial bankrupt for example.
Doubt there's anything more done prior to appointment to Ministerial role though the Whips' Office might be aware of sexual proclivities such as those exhibited here.
