Commons Speaker praised Syria vote stint

The Commons Speaker has been praised for chairing Wednesday's marathon parliamentary debate on Syria without leaving his seat.

The Shadow Leader of the Commons Chris Bryant questioned how he managed it - curious if there was a "filtration" system in the chair.
