Penny Mordaunt
The hon. Lady can put her questions to the Chancellor shortly, but I would point out that all organisations are facing rising costs. That is in part why we have acted so swiftly; even today we will be putting through legislation to help with business and the cost of living.
Richard Thomson (Gordon) (SNP)
The Prime Minister has been in office for six weeks, but notoriously, even with the rigours of the Budget, has yet to find time to call the First Ministers of Scotland or Wales. Does the Leader of the House think the Prime Minister will remain in office long enough to be able to do so?
Penny Mordaunt
I know the Prime Minister takes seriously her responsibilities to work constructively with the other Administrations, and she will always do so.
