We had a very good discussion about this issue at the Liaison Committee; I agree with my right hon. Friend Mr Bradshaw about the supreme irony: that the mastermind of the leave campaign, whose sole raison d’être was all about parliamentary sovereignty and taking back control, should be turning his back on this place in a show of arrogance and contempt that cannot go unmarked or unpunished.

Question put and agreed to.

Resolved,

That this House
notes that the Order of the House of Thursday 7 June has not been complied with;
and accordingly refers the matter to the Committee of Privileges.
