A British Conservative MP has been tested for coronavirus after becoming visibly unwell in the House of Commons chamber. The development comes a day after MPs approved the British government's plan to end virtual voting in the House of Commons.

A spokeswoman for Alok Sharma said the MP "began feeling unwell when in the chamber delivering the second reading of the Corporate Governance and Insolvency Bill".
