The House of Commons deputy speaker warned MPs not to get “excited” as Jeremy Hunt was jeered at the beginning of his spring Budget statement.
Dame Eleanor Laing said the behaviour was “not amusing” and that the chamber needed to hear what the chancellor had to say.
“I can tell who is making the noise and you simply won’t get the chance to speak later,” she warned MPs.
Mr Hunt said the government was in a position to deliver “permanent tax cuts” and billed his financial statement as a “Budget for long-term growth” on Wednesday 6 March.
