Sir Lindsay Hoyle

Sir Lindsay Hoyle

Speaker — Chorley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 September 2025

Debate

Official Secrets Act

Contribution

I am grateful to the hon. Member for giving me notice of her point of order. I believe that this is a matter for the Attorney General—who is responsible for the CPS—and as he sits in the other place, maybe we will have to use the Solicitor General as a way forward. In this case, I hope that a clear message has gone back to everybody that when we still have Members of Parliament who have sanctions, we cannot let this go in the way that seems to have been done.
