Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Carolyn Harris and Lindsay Hoyle

Wednesday 15th July 2026 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

I call Carolyn Harris to ask the final question.

[Carolyn Harris (Neath and Swansea East) (Lab)]

I can do this. Can I thank my right hon. and learned, and very dear, Friend for everything he has given to our party and our country? There were few who believed we could make the changes needed to bring in a Labour Government after the general election of 2019, when he became leader. Today, though, because of his service and his leadership, children are growing up in a fairer Britain. We stand tall on the world stage, and every day, we have seen his decency and his courage shine through. My family and I thank him and his wonderful family for their cherished friendship, and I am certain that everyone will join me in wishing him and his family the very, very best for their next chapter.
