Speaker 'will seek re-election'
Beleaguered Commons Speaker Michael Martin is set to defy his critics and stand for a third term, it has been reported.

Many MPs had expected that Mr Martin, who has been under fire over his handling of the police raid on Tory MP Damian Green's Commons office, would stand down at the next general election.

However, The Sunday Times reported he had now let it be known through his office that he wanted to carry on into the next Parliament.

Confirming at least that honour has long ceased to exist within the Palace of Westminster
