Ms Atkins has been criticised after attempting to interrupt another MP during a Commons debate.
Conservative MP Victoria Atkins has been criticised for her behaviour during a parliamentary debate as she attempted to loudly interrupt another MP.
Labour MP Perran Moon said Ms Atkins' behaviour was "an absolute disgrace" and called for appropriate action to be taken."I witnessed this first-hand. The Conservatives proved the electorate got it right: they are not fit for government", she said.: "I think the fact you don’t get to speak as much in opposition is hard for them to get used to".
A spokesperson for Ms Atkins' office said: “Conservative MPs were trying to get answers about their budgets for farming, flood defences and food security, which the minister ignored.
