The mum-of-three said: "My son is 16, he finds it incredibly difficult to go in to a shop. He said today it is too noisy and busy.

Julian Smith, the Conservative member for Skipton and Ripon, is also the Government's Chief Whip.

The Conservative Party chairman, Brandon Lewis, has apologised after voting when he shouldn't have, as he was "paired" with the Liberal Democrats Deputy Leader Jo Swinson, who's on maternity leave.

Pairing is a parliamentary convention by which pairs of MPs on different sides of the Commons agree not to vote, so an absence, such as maternity leave, does not count against a member.

The Liberal Democrats Chief Whip Alistair Carmichael told the Commons "an explanation was needed."

Shadow Equalities Secretary Dawn Butler said: "Surely the Chief Whip and Conservative Party chair should resign."

During Prime Minister's questions, Mrs May told MPs: "The breaking of the pair was done in error.

"It wasn't good enough and will not be repeated."
