The Prime Minister
I have always made my own personal views on this clear. There have been opportunities recently in Parliament to vote on this issue. It is always open to Members of Parliament to bring forward legislation, to amend existing Bills and for the House to debate this. That has happened relatively recently, but it continues on the Government Benches, as I am sure it does on the Opposition Benches, to be an entirely free vote issue.
Jenny Chapman (Darlington) (Lab)
Q13. Did the Prime Minister or any member of his Cabinet ask the right hon. Member for Basingstoke (Maria Miller) to resign?
The Prime Minister
My right hon. Friend took her own decision and has communicated that decision in a letter. I really think that Opposition Members should respect that decision.
