'RESIGN!' Chaos as deputy speaker rages at Rishi Sunak over breaking house rules

       Dame Eleanor Laing echoed concerns from her superior Sir Lindsay Hoyle who was angry the House of Commons was being disrespected after details of the Budget were leaked. Dame Eleanor, who chaired the Budget, berated Rishi Sunak just before his Budget and said she did not want future Budgets to see details leaked. Opposition benches became lively and shouted across the chamber for Conservative ministers to resign as Dame Eleanor quickly took charge to bring order.

       Speaking in the House of Commons, Dame Eleanor said: "I share the concern of many members of the house of pre-briefing to the media before any announcements were made to the house.

       "Previously pre-briefings have been made under embargo but what we have experienced this year is rather different.

       "As Mr Speaker has said, important policy announcements must be made first to Parliament."

       Backbench MPs could be heard in the background calling for resignations and deplored the disrespect shown by the Tory frontbenches.

       Dame Eleanor quickly took charge and added: "We are not talking about resigning, we are talking about courtesy to the house.

       "I must put on record my support with the Speaker and we should not find ourselves in this position again.

       "We are very much looking forward to the remainder of your announcements."

       The Commons laughed at the sly dig before Dame Eleanor reassured she was not trying to be rude as there were still key parts of the Budget not made public yet.

       Mr Sunak told the Deputy Speaker he had the most respect for her and Sir Lindsay and would take on her concerns.

       Mr Sunak and the Treasury were attacked by opposition parties after details of the Budget were leaked and published ahead of the Wednesday announcement.

       Among them included the increase in the minimum wage with the rate for those aged over 23 rising to £9.50 an hour from £8.91.

       The forecasted economic impact of introducing the “Plan B” winter Covid plan was also leaked ahead of time.

       Reports suggest the “Plan B” system, which would reintroduce working from home, mask-wearing and other social distancing measures, could cost the UK economy £18billion.

       Political opponents argued the Government deliberately leaked the information to scupper support for the “Plan B” measure.

       During the Budget, the Chancellor revealed inflation could reach four percent over the next year.

       He also forecast overseas aid, which was cut to 0.5 percent of GDP, would be restored to 0.7 percent by the end of the parliament.
