Coronavirus: More than a dozen Tory rebels failed to defeat the government over its 'rule of six'

"We need a proportionate response and justifications for limiting families' freedoms."

Another MP, Mark Harper, let loose frustration at Ms Whately for claiming opposition to some restrictions would"let rip" the virus."But if every time somebody asks a question or posits a different strategy, we are accused of wanting to let it rip and kill tens of thousands of people, this debate will not remain good-tempered and I would just say to her please accept we are all trying to get this right.

And Steve Baker, a third Tory MP, added:"It's not clear now that the benefit outweighs the costs of lockdown. We have to ask whether this set of circumstances is really what we want."Jeffrey Donaldson, the DUP's chief whip, said his party voted against the measure which only affects England"for consistency".

He tweeted:"Government should exclude under 13s as in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. A more joined up approach needed." A bigger row is brewing over the 10pm curfew, with rebels unfazed by the small number of Tories who voted against the government this time.
