MP suspended after he refused to stop shouting during Brexit debate

MP suspended after he refused to stop shouting during Brexit debate

An MP has been suspended from the House of Commons after refusing to sit down and stop shouting during a Brexit debate.


The SNP’s business spokesman Drew Hendry shouted ‘this is an outrage’ as bussiness minister Paul Scully came to a conclusion following a lengthy parliamentary battle over the Internal Market Bill.

Deputy Speaker Dame Rosie Winterton told him to resume his seat but the MP refused before proceeding to pick up the parliamentary mace and walk towards the door of the chamber.

The MP for Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey, was stopped by the doorkeepers, who took the mace – a symbol of the monarchy’s authority that the house can’t pass laws without.

Members could be heard describing Hendry’s actions as ‘outrageous’ and referring to it as ‘another boring stunt’

Dame Rosie remarked that it was ‘very childish’, before undertaking the formal procedure of naming Hendry and suspending him from the service of the House.

In a speech to Parliament, Hendry said the ‘only reason’ for the legislation is to ‘demolish devolution’ in Scotland.

He added: ‘If the Government take this Bill forward today as they obviously will, that is what they will be doing.

‘People in Scotland when they see the effects of this Bill will be angry about the fact that their rights are being taken away by these Tory ministers aided by their Labour bedfellows.

‘They will be furious about the fact that their rights are being stripped from them and they’re listening and they’re watching and they’re seeing developments in this place and they’re understanding now that the only way to protect their Parliament, to protect their rights, to protect their democracy in Scotland is to go forward as an independent nation and they’ll be voting for that I’m sure in due course.’

It comes as last-ditch negotiations between London and Brussels go down to the wire, with the end of the Brexit transition period in the New Year.

However clashes remain over fishing waters and the so-called ‘level playing field’ – measures to stop Britain receiving preferential treatment over the rest of Europe.

European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen told MEPs the next few days would be ‘decisive’, adding: ‘As things stand I cannot tell you whether there will be a deal or not’.

She added that there was a ‘very narrow’ path to an agreement and that it is ‘therefore our responsibility to continue trying’.
