John Bercow is to consider contempt of Parliament allegations aimed at the Government over its handling of the release of Brexit impact assessments.

SNP Commons leader Pete Wishart confirmed he has written to the Speaker to formally make an allegation of contempt for "refusing to fully comply with a binding vote" of the House.

Mr Bercow said he has yet to read the letter, adding he will study it "most carefully".
