Functioning of Government

Debate between Matt Rodda and Michael Ellis

Thursday 7th July 2022 Commons Chamber

[Michael Ellis]

No matter who forms the Government of this country, the Union of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is of paramount importance, as the people of Scotland themselves decided in the referendum in 2014.

[Matt Rodda (Reading East) (Lab)]

The current situation is clearly unsustainable. As we heard earlier from my right hon. Friend the Member for Ashton-under-Lyne (Angela Rayner), it is damaging crucial decision making and harming our reputation abroad. Could the Paymaster General please take this back to the Prime Minister, urge an urgent resolution and inform the House as soon as possible?

[Michael Ellis]

The Prime Minister will be speaking shortly.
