Labour MPs opposed to SF getting office space in Westminster

Two British Labour Party MPs have expressed opposition to their own party’s proposals to give Sinn Fein’s four MPs office space and parliamentary privileges in Westminster.

Kate Hoey and Frank Field have joined the DUP, the UUP and the Conservative Party in opposing the plans, which were proposed because of the political progress made in the North over the past few years.

Sinn Fein have always refused to take their seats in Westminster because it would require them to pledge allegiance to the queen.
