EAST Lancashire MPs Gordon Prentice and Peter Pike were among the Labour rebels who voted against the sackings of their colleagues in the biggest revolt of Tony Blair's rule.
Mr Prentice, MP for Pendle, voted against the new line-ups for both the Foreign Affairs Select Committee and the Transport Select Committee.
Burnley MP Peter Pike voted against the Transport Select Committee only as did Chorley MP Lindsay Hoyle.
The votes represented the biggest rebellion in the Tony Blair administration.
More than 300 MPs voted to reinstate Donald Anderson as chairman of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee and Gwyneth Dunwoody as chairman of the transport committee.
