Tory MP has tabled a no confidence motion against House of Commons speaker John Bercow,
Sky News has learned. Mr Bercow, the Commons Speaker has faced calls to consider his position after saying the US President should not be allowed to address Parliament during his state visit.
He later said that he had been "honestly and honourably seeking to discharge my responsibilities to the House". But MP James Duddridge told Sky News that the Speaker had "overstepped the mark a number of times".
He added: "This most recent incident, where he used the Speaker's chair to pronounce his views on an international situation in some quite detailed and lengthy manner, is wholly inappropriate. "(It) means he can no longer reasonably chair, as Speaker, any debate on those subjects."
The motion was tabled as the Commons rose for the February recess and Mr Duddridge said that support for his move could mean the Speaker is forced out before MPs return to Westminster.
