Easter Recess: Government Update

David Simmonds Excerpts

Tuesday 19th April 2022 Commons Chamber

[The Prime Minister]

I heard what the hon. Member said. I do not agree with it, and nor do I agree with what he said about those on the Front Bench.

[David Simmonds (Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner) (Con)]

I was lucky, in that on Saturday night I got to hold the hand of my father-in-law as he died of complications from covid, so I understand the anger that many people feel and the challenge that we all face when it comes to the credibility of our Government and the good actions of this Conservative Government, which I support. But I have to ask my right hon. Friend what steps he has in mind to restore the moral authority of this Government.

[The Prime Minister]

I think the best thing the Government can do is to continue to deliver on the promises that we made to the British people, and that is what we are doing.
