Watch former BHS owner Sir Philip Green accuse Bedford MP Richard Fuller of 'staring at him' in the House of Commons

Sir Philip was giving evidence to the Work and Pension Select Committee about the BHS pensions ‘black hole’

Facing a semi circle of MPs, he interrupted the proceedings to ask Richard Fuller: “Sir, do you mind not looking at me like that all the time? It’s really disturbing.”

He added: “it’s just uncomfortable, that’s all.”

Mr Fuller replied: “I wasn’t quite just staring at you, but I don’t wish to you you uncomfortable.”

He was then forced to repeat himself when sir Philip did not hear.

The tycoon concluded the exchange with: “It’s just uncomfortable, sort of, you staring at me.”

The bizarre interlude was broadcast on Twitter by author and journalist Ian Fraser.
