The Prime Minister
My hon. Friend will see reference to that very problem in Sue Gray’s report and we will take steps to clarify things and make sure that there is greater transparency in the lines of command.
Stephen Timms (East Ham) (Lab)

The Prime Minister
I really think the right hon. Gentleman is prejudging things, and he should wait for the conclusion of the inquiries.
