Points of Order

Charlie Dewhirst Excerpts

Wednesday 4th February 2026 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

Don’t be ridiculous.

I say to the hon. Lady that she had put this on the record—[Interruption.] I do not want to continue the debate. She has put it on the record, so it is there.

[Charlie Dewhirst (Bridlington and The Wolds) (Con)]

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. The Prime Minister, in response to my question, appeared to deny ever being instructed by the disgraced lawyer Phil Shiner, yet I have here the 2007 case of Al-Jedda v. the Secretary of State for Defence, where it quite clearly says that the appellants were instructed by public interest lawyers including one Keir Starmer QC. Perhaps the Prime Minister might want to return to the House and clarify his earlier remarks.

[Mr Speaker]

I am not here to continue a debate. You have put it on the record, and we will leave it at that.
