Commons ChamberI can only say that the Prime Minister will make a statement shortly.
The hollow resignations by those who enthusiastically supported decisions such as voting for Owen Paterson show how they were unfit to serve as Ministers in the beginning. But the governance of this country cannot be allowed to fail, so when are these vacancies going to be filled? They must be filled immediately and we cannot allow decisions to be made by other Secretaries of State from other Departments. The country deserves better than that.
The Government will continue to function, and I have spoken to the head of the civil service to that effect.
