In his first public comments on the row, the prime minister said Hoyle should not have upended the “usual processes” of parliament in the face of “intimidation or aggressive behaviour”.That had the effect of preventing what was expected to be a major rebellion by Labour MPs who had planned to vote with the SNP.
“Now my understanding is that the Speaker has apologised for that and is going to reflect on what happened.” The prime minister added: “I think the important point here is that we should never let extremists intimidate us into changing the way in which parliament works. “Parliament is an important place for us to have these debates. And just because some people may want to stifle that with intimidation or aggressive behaviour, we should not bend to that and change how parliament works. That’s a very slippery slope.”One former cabinet minister told HuffPost UK: “MPs are very divided on what should happen, but Lindsay does have enough Conservative support to win a vote of confidence if it comes to that.
