He clearly placed an arm around Mr Williamson before patting him on the back.
Witnesses say he was heard saying to both parliamentarians: "How are we comrades?"
Although Mr Williamson is suspended by his party, he is still free to take part in wider votes.
He had been in the Commons to vote on an amendment put forward by Mr Corbyn, which eventually failed to pass.

Labour said Mr Corbyn's actions represented "basic politeness".
