Labour — Bradford South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 May 2026

Debate

Contribution

Before I call the Chancellor to make her statement, I have to say to her that Mr Speaker has checked the ministerial code, which makes it clear that important policy announcements should be made in the first instance in this House when it is sitting. This House and its Members should be the first to know what the Government are doing—not TikTok. Posting videos on social media to announce new policies before informing this House is not in line with the Government’s own rules. This is a new parliamentary Session and Ministers must do better. I call the Chancellor.
