MPs are pressing for the conduct of members of the royal family to be debated in the Commons, the Speaker said, as Prince Andrew faces fresh scrutiny over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Sir Lindsay Hoyle said there had been “inaccurate” commentary on whether MPs are able to discuss Andrew in Parliament, adding: “There are ways for the House to properly consider this matter.”
