Lindsay Hoyle – 2022 Statement on Michael Gove Breaking the Ministerial Code

The statement made by Lindsay Hoyle, the Speaker of the House of Commons, in the House on 8 December 2022.

Order. The statement I received was the thinnest ever, but the Minister has gone long. Between that and what the Opposition and I have been provided with, there is something missing, which is not in accordance with the ministerial code. We do not work like that. The shadow Secretary of State has not been able to read what has just been said. I am going to suspend the House in order to try to find out what is in the statement.
