Labour — Hartlepool

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 April 2026

Debate

Security Vetting

Contribution

One of the things that I find most difficult to understand in this process is why, when this scandal erupted in September of last year, before the Prime Minister made statements in this place and elsewhere—statements that he must have known would have involved talking about the vetting—he did not simply order officials to share the vetting information with him. Why did he not do so, and does he regret it?
