Speaker John Bercow accused the Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson of being
sexist for referring to shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry as
Lady Nugee because of her husband's title.
Ms Thornberry is married to Sir Christopher Nugee but chooses to use her
maiden name.
The speaker's intervention drew a Commons protocol-breaking round of
applause from some MPs.
Mr Johnson subsequently apologised for his "inadvertent sexism".
