Lee Anderson sparked uproar in the Commons this afternoon after using his PMQs question to demand Sir Ed Davey “clear off” over his part in the Post Office scandal.
Mr Anderson told MPs that the Horizon Post Office scandal had seen hundreds of innocent sub-postmasters sent to prison, including one of his own constituents.
He pointed out that during the scandal, the Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey was the minister in charge of the Post Office.
“This is the same Liberal Democrat leader who in the past has called for the resignation of over 30 prominent people in this country who have made mistakes in their jobs.
“So does the Prime Minister agree with me that the leader of the Lib Dems should take his own advice, and start by clearing his desk, clearing his diary and clear off?”
The demand sparked supportive uproar in the Commons, with many Tory MPs seen demanding to know where the Lib Dem leader was.
