The gaggle of Europhilic MPs were immediately shut up, with Mr Hoyle explaining that he did not want other groups to start singing.

“Because before we know it, we could be hearing other tunes and I don’t want to get into that.”

He added: “We've seen a historic vote tonight – a big majority for getting on with negotiating our exit from the EU and a strong, new partnership with its member states.

"It has been a serious debate, a healthy debate, with contributions from MPs representing all parts of the UK, and I respect the strong views on all sides.

"The decision on EU membership has been made by the people we serve. It is now time for everyone, whichever way they voted in the referendum, to unite to make a success of the important task at hand for our country.”
