TORY MPs are reportedly being told to treat a vote on fracking due on Wednesday afternoon as a de facto confidence vote in the Government.
In a letter to MPs seen by Sky News’s Beth Rigby, the Conservative deputy whip Craig Whittaker told MPs they must vote for fracking against a Labour ploy to force them into taking a stance on the controversial topic.
Party whips are responsible for ensuring discipline among MPs and to make them toe the line on key issues.
