Sir Lindsay Hoyle

Sir Lindsay Hoyle

Speaker — Chorley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 March 2026

Debate

Immigration Policy

Contribution

I believe the Minister had a telling-off earlier, and I just want to reiterate the problem. The scrapping of the communications grid may be of benefit to the Government, but it is not beneficial to this House. This House does not want to be drip-fed for seven days via the news; the Government should come here first. We have got it the wrong way round. I hope the message goes back that this should happen no more.
