The Prime Minister
I certainly congratulate the two local authorities. Tragically, there are not too many Conservative local authorities I can congratulate in Scotland. However, I am happy to congratulate the hon. Gentleman’s. It sounds like an excellent initiative, and I wish everyone taking part the very best of luck.
Zac Goldsmith (Richmond Park) (Con)
Will the Prime Minister confirm that all witnesses to all aspects of the promised inquiry will be required to give evidence under oath?
The Prime Minister
As I will explain in a minute, there will be one inquiry but with two parts, and it will be led by a judge, who will be the one who will eventually agree the terms of reference, set out the way it will work and be responsible for calling people under oath.
