LONDON — Members of Parliament have begun debating the issue of banning Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump from the UK.
The scheduled three-hour session was prompted by a petition to ban him from the country as well as a counter petition saying he should be allowed in, after he made a series of controversial remarks.
The debate is being led by Paul Flynn MP, a member of the Petitions Committee. It will be on the motion: “That this House has considered e-petitions 114003 and 114907 relating to the exclusion of Donald Trump from the UK.”
