Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Madeley accused foreign office minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan of “fobbing people off” in a heated discussion over her party’s proposed national service scheme.
The presenter challenged the Tory minister on how the government would enforce national service on 18-year-olds when she appeared on the ITV breakfast show on Monday (27 May).
Madeley asked: “What will happen to young people who say they're not taking part?”
Ms Trevelyan replied “It wouldn’t be a criminal prosecution level”, before citing a timeline for the proposed plan.
Madeley interrupted her and said: “You can’t just fob the answer off.”
