Lindsay Hoyle – 2022 Statement Following Breach of Ministerial Code by Michael Gove

The second statement (first statement) made by Lindsay Hoyle, the Speaker of the House of Commons, in the House on 8 December 2022.

I will suspend the House until 11.30, when we will have business questions. That will enable us to try to get a transcript of what has been said in the statement, so that all Members, whatever their opinions, can ask informed questions, as they would wish to. That is how we will play it: we will have business questions at 11.30, then we will come back to the statement. I am sorry about this; this is not the way to do good government.
