Sir Keir Starmer

Labour — Holborn and St Pancras

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 November 2025

Debate

Public Office (Accountability) Bill

Contribution

Absolutely. I looked the families in the eye and made that promise, and I meant it. I say it again from this Dispatch Box: this Bill will not be watered down. This is such an important re-orchestrating of the relationship between the state and its citizens. It will not be watered down. I am very pleased to be able to affirm that from this Dispatch Box.
