Bercow said Trump should not speak before Parliament in 2017 (Picture: Rex/EPA) Commons Speaker John Bercow has been urged to allow Donald Trump to address Parliament if he returns this summer. Bercow sparked controversy in 2017 when he said Trump should not be allowed to speak in the Commons, but plans are in place for a presidential state visit in June to coincide with the 75th anniversary of D-Day. The Speaker said at the time that addressing Parliament was ‘not an automatic right, it is an earned honour’. But he is being told not to put the ‘special relationship’ at risk by government ministers. Defence minister Tobias Ellwood said the UK should ‘leverage’ the visit. He told the Telegraph: ‘D-Day represents the bedrock of our international relationships. Donald Trump could return to the UK in June (Picture: EPA) ‘As we pay tribute to a generation of brave veterans who sacrificed their lives to defend our values, we can reaffirm our commitment to step forward with our closest of allies and most crucially the US to defend those same values once again under threat. ‘The special relationship matters. It is greater than any one individual, however controversial. ‘So we should leverage the US President’s state visit, including the opportunity to formally address Parliament.’ When asked if Bercow would still refuse Trump the honour of addressing Parliament, a spokesman for the Speaker reportedly said: ‘We don’t have any comment.’ Just seven days after the US president’s inauguration in January 2017 the Prime Minister Theresa May flew to Washington to extend the invitation, officially on behalf of the Queen, for a state visit. Will the Speaker snub the President again? (Picture: AFP/Getty) But despite his trip to the UK last summer, Trump has not yet made a state visit to Britain. Only two occupants of the White House have been treated to a grand state visit during the Queen’s reign, George W Bush in 2003 and Barack Obama in May 2011 but both were well into their presidencies by the time the offer was made. Former Navy chief Lord West of Spithead told the Telegraph it would be ‘an absolute disgrace’ if Bercow stopped the president from speaking in Parliament.
