PM dodges questions about whether he would stop controversial bill receiving royal assent

Ahead of the deadline for Downing Street to intervene if it wants to curtail the move, the prime minister dodged questions about whether he would stop the bill receiving royal assent and said that seeking advice on the issue was “standard practice”.
