Independent Adviser on Ministers’ Interests

Debate between Lord True and Viscount Chandos

Thursday 16th June 2022 Lords Chamber

[Lord True (Con)]

My Lords, I have already said that I am not going into speculative comments on what may or may not have been the subject of a commercially confidential matter under consideration.

[Viscount Chandos (Lab)]

Can the Minister name one other role, in public life or any other area, where the ultimate decision as to continuing in that role is left to the person in that position?

[Lord True (Con)]

My Lords, the decision on whether the Prime Minister continues in office will rest with the British people when the time comes.
