Therese Coffey and Jacob Rees-Mogg, cabinet ministers, are among a group of powerful Conservatives who are charged with intimidating Conservative MPs into voting against a Labour motion on fracking.
According to opposition MPs, one Tory MP was “physically manhandled” into the “no” lobby amid extraordinary events at Westminster to ensure he opposed the motion.
