Points of Order

Ed Davey Excerpts

Tuesday 23rd May 2023 Commons Chamber

[Ed Davey (Kingston and Surbiton) (LD)]

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. At Prime Minister’s questions on 19 April, the Prime Minister claimed that last year the number of NHS dentists in England had increased by 500. However, today the British Dental Association has revealed that the number of dentists delivering NHS work fell by almost 700 in the 2022-23 financial year. I am sure that the Prime Minister did not intentionally aim to mislead the House, but have you had any indication from him or his office that he intends to come back to the House to correct the record and give Members the latest information?

[Mr Speaker]

I think that somebody else wants to ask a similar question.
