Victoria Atkins behaved 'abominably', deputy speaker says


Victoria Atkins was criticised by deputy Speaker Christopher Chope for standing at the despatch box and attempting to intervene during a debate on Friday.

The Conservative MP for Louth and Horncastle was described as behaving “abominably” for trying to interrupt Defra Secretary Steve Reed as he spoke during the planning, green belt and rural affairs debate.

Ms Atkins’ office said she was “trying to get answers for farmers… even if that means a rare admonishment from the Chair”.
