MPs in the UK have voted in favor of a ban on the use of wild animals in circuses. Tory MP Mark Pritchard, who was campaigning for the ban, claimed Government whips offered him “a job" to withdraw the motion.
"I want to focus on the interesting past few days. On Monday, in return for amending my motion, dropping it or not calling a vote on it... I was offered a reward, an incentive. If I had amended my motion and not called for a ban, I would have been offered a job," Prichard said during the debate.
