DUP MPs attend Commons vote after Speaker warning
Two DUP MPs have travelled to Westminster for a debate which the Commons speaker advised should only be attended if
"absolutely necessary".
Sammy Wilson and Jim Shannon were among about 30 MPs who sat socially distanced on the benches during the debate.
DUP leader Arlene Foster has defended her party colleagues for attending.
Parliament was recalled after its Christmas break to hear a statement from Prime Minister Boris Johnson on the latest lockdown
in England.
MPs urged 'not to come to Westminster'
Ahead of the debate, Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle advised MPs to stay away from the chamber and participate remotely "unless absolutely
necessary" due to the sharp increase in the number of coronavirus cases across the UK.
"As per my advice on the previous recall, I would strongly urge you not to physically come to Westminster to participate in any business
unless absolutely necessary due to the current severe public health situation," he wrote to MPs.
"Members' staff should also be working from home and I have asked the House authorities to limit House staff on the estate to a bare
minimum."
Mrs Foster was asked about the issue by SDLP MLA Matthew O'Toole during a debate in the Stormont assembly.
'Motorcycle danger'
Later, DUP MP Sammy Wilson defended attending the House of Commons, saying he would be in more danger riding his motorcycle.
Mr Wilson said he had to go as DUP chief whip to ensure his party's votes could be registered.
He defended the decision of his colleague Jim Shannon to also attend, saying that the Strangford MP wanted to be there in his role as party
health spokesperson.
"I drive a motorbike, I drive a motorcar. Actually, at my age, I'm more in danger of being killed on my motorbike than I am of being
affected by this virus," Mr Wilson told BBC News NI.
He added: "How I decide to do my job is up to me."
The DUP MP rejected criticism from the SDLP and the Alliance Party who accused him of setting a bad example in the middle of a pandemic.
