Graham Stuart

Conservative — Beverley and Holderness

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 April 2026

Debate

Security Vetting

Contribution

This is a humiliating day for the Prime Minister, and for the House, and for the whole country, yet still the Prime Minister is not being open with us. He is relying on some later inquiry, when the Cabinet Secretary told him in writing, in the official briefing, that he must seek vetting prior to the appointment of a political appointee. That is true, is it not, Prime Minister? And can you give a straight answer, just for once?
