Penny Mordaunt
I stress again to all honourable colleagues that there is a very good reason why the Prime Minister is not here. The Chancellor will be making a statement shortly, when Members will be able to ask him these questions.
David Linden (Glasgow East) (SNP)
On the replacement of the Chancellor, given that he lasted 38 days in office and crashed the economy, will the Leader of the House confirm that the right hon. Member for Spelthorne (Kwasi Kwarteng) will be rejecting his ministerial severance payment?
Penny Mordaunt
I would not be involved in that decision at all, but the hon. Gentleman will know to whom he can write in order to find that out.
