Number 10 faces Commons revolt on 10pm pub curfew as it is accused of ‘dirty tricks’ tactics in attempt to AVOID a vote
Tory MPs are set to mount a new revolt over the unpopular 10pm pub curfew tonight – if the Government lets them.
Ministers were embroiled in a dirty tricks row this afternoon after attempting to axe a planned vote on whether to keep the law that forces drinking holes to close earely.
They want to include it in a wider vote on the Prime Minister’s new lockdown tier system unveiled yesterday, meaning that if it is defeated, the whole system would collapse.
It came as Health Secretary Matt Hancock admitted to MPs that the 10pm curfew was a ‘policy choice’ rather than a scientific imperative.
