LONDON, England
The deputy speaker of Britain's House of Commons has asked
lawmakers not to use Twitter while sitting in the chamber. Lindsay
Hoyle intervened after Kevin Brennan, a Labour lawmaker, noted
midway through a debate on education that two other lawmakers there
were tweeting about the debate on Twitter.
Brennan complained the lawmakers should have voiced their
arguments in Parliament so other lawmakers could have a chance to
rebut them, instead of making comments online.
Hoyle warned Wednesday that lawmakers should not use Twitter to
update followers while they sit in the Commons.
