Huhne joins calls to oust speaker

Version 0 of 5.

Liberal Democrats Home Affairs spokesman Chris Huhne has joined the calls for Commons Speaker Michael Martin to be removed from his post.

Mr Huhne told the BBC: "I think Michael Martin will have to go. I don't think he's the right person to do this job."

A campaign to remove Mr Martin from office began after what some view as his poor handling of the expenses row.

Some MPs felt he was more concerned with attacking those who criticised him than responding to public anger.
