Functioning of Government

Debate between Michael Ellis and Stephen Timms

Thursday 7th July 2022 Commons Chamber

[Michael Ellis]

I am sure that my hon. Friend’s comment has been noted.

[Sir Stephen Timms (East Ham) (Lab)]

It is a great relief that we will no longer have a Prime Minister who keeps on saying things that subsequently turn out to be untrue. Will the Minister reassure us that the change will take place in hours, not months, and does he recognise that effective democracy depends on Ministers telling the truth?

[Michael Ellis]

I can only say that the Prime Minister will make a statement shortly.
