Police have launched an investigation after a scuffle broke out when pro-Palestine protesters disrupted a meeting of Sir Lindsay Hoyle’s council.

The incident took place on Tuesday evening at Chorley Council. Sir Lindsay, the Commons Speaker who last week was criticised for his handling of a Gaza debate, is the Chorley MP.

A local group of pro-Palestine campaigners, frustrated that the council would not formally debate a motion for a ceasefire, disrupted a meeting by calling for such a move and chanting.
