Labour — Birmingham Ladywood

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 January 2025

Debate

Topical Questions

Contribution

The Prime Minister has responded to the other questions that have been raised. The appropriate information was made available at the appropriate time to either the Prime Minister or the Home Secretary. It was right that the Government did not give any commentary that could have collapsed the trial. On the specific charge relating to ricin, that decision required Law Officer approval, which was sought and immediately given.
