Business of the House

Patricia Gibson Excerpts

Thursday 5th September 2019 Commons Chamber

[Patricia Gibson (North Ayrshire and Arran) (SNP)]

I was alarmed to hear reports that the Leader of the House has previously suggested that all council workers should wear bowler hats, that Somerset should have its own time zone, that he has apparently met a group that favours the voluntary repatriation of black immigrants and that he has disputed climate change. Does he still believe these things, or has he finally decided to live on planet Earth?

[Mr Rees-Mogg]

The first half of that question referred to jokes, and the second half was wrong.
