Sir Lindsay Hoyle

Speaker — Chorley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 January 2026

Debate

Police Reform White Paper

Contribution

Before we start, it would be remiss of me not to say to the Home Secretary that although we have a statement now, I watched this all unfold yesterday and over the past few days. Whether it is the FBI or the merging of police forces, it really needs to be brought to the House before it is taken to the media. I say once again to the Home Secretary, who I know is very diligent in the job, that these are not my rules; they are the Prime Minister’s rules. I do not need the Prime Minister ignoring his own rules.
