MPs are to debate calls to ban US presidential hopeful Donald Trump from Britain.

The billionaire provoked widespread anger after he demanded a block on Muslims entering the US and claimed parts of London were "so radicalised" that police were "afraid for their own lives".

More than 570,000 have signed a petition asking the UK Government to prevent Mr Trump accessing the country, noting action against "hate speech" must take place regardless of a person's wealth or power.

The vote comes after activists staged protests over the weekend at two golf resorts owned by Trump.

Rise Scotland said around 40 people demonstrated at the Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire and Turnberry in Ayrshire on Sunday afternoon.

Campaigners, pictured with a Dump Trump banner at the Turnberry resort, said the US presidential hopeful was not welcome in Scotland. There were no arrests.

Three hours have been allocated in Westminster Hall for the debate, which will be led by Labour's Paul Flynn.

The MP for Newport West said he intends to pay a "heartfelt tribute" to the US as the "home of democracy" and will seek to represent the "anger of petitioners" over Mr Trump's views on Mexicans, Muslims, global warming and guns.

But Mr Flynn, writing ahead of the debate on his website, added:

Prime Minister David Cameron has also previously spoken against a ban while Cabinet minister Chris Grayling warned giving Mr Trump the "oxygen of publicity" helps rather than hinders him.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is also not in favour of a ban, adding he wanted to take Mr Trump to a mosque.

The Islington North MP told BBC One's Andrew Marr show on Sunday:

Mr Corbyn added: "I don't think you should ban people coming to Britain on that basis. I think he should come here, have a lesson in going to all our cities."

Sarah Malone, executive vice-president of Trump International Golf Links, said: "It is absurd that valuable parliamentary time is being wasted debating a matter raised as part of the American Presidential election.

"For the UK to consider banning someone who made a statement in America, about American boarders [sic] during a US election campaign is ridiculous.

"Westminster is creating a dangerous precedent on this issue and is sending a terrible message to the world.

"Our politicians would do better to debate how to solve the challenges facing our own country and its people, like the tens of thousands of job losses in the oil industry and the thousands more job cuts planned.

"The individuals who instigated this ban have a self-serving personal agenda and do not represent the views or interests of the vast majority of British people.

"Mr Trump is investing hundreds of millions of pounds into the Scottish economy and its greatest assets.

"Until now, Turnberry has been unable to attract the huge investment required to secure its future and industry chiefs have applauded Trump International Golf Links, Scotland which has attracted tens of thousands of much needed overseas visitors to the region.

"Both properties are critical to the golf, leisure and tourism sector in Scotland which we cannot afford to jeopardise. Any attempt at a ban of this kind would force Mr Trump to abandon his plans for a further £700m investment.

"With the collapse of the oil price, the investment in Aberdeen has never been more important and Mr Trump is likely to spend more than he initially planned when the economy recovers."
