Speaker’s Statement

Lindsay Hoyle Excerpts

Thursday 16th July 2026 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

Before we come to business questions, I wish everybody a pleasant recess. I hope we get some downtime; it seems to have been a very heavy Session so far. To the staff of the House, thank you for all that you do—to all our Doorkeepers, security and everybody who works here, but none more so than those who work in the Tea Room and the Dining Rooms. To those who are leaving the House, I wish you well for the future.
