He eventually ejected two members.
"Neale Hanvey, I am now naming you and Kenny MacAskill to leave this chamber," Hoyle said.
"Deal with them," he said while instructing the Sergeant of Arms to remove the two members of the Scottish Alba Party. The argument began over the veto of a Scottish independence referendum.
The incident occurred during "Prime Minister's Question Time."
PMQs 'is a constitutional convention in the United Kingdom, currently held as a single session every Wednesday at noon when the House of Commons is sitting, during which the Prime Minister answers questions from Members of Parliament (MPs)."
