Speech in Commons Chamber - Tue 14 Dec 2021 Public Health
"My hon. Friend started off his speech in an excellent way and has got better as he has gone through it. I say that, but I will almost certainly not be in the same Lobby as him on some of the votes this evening. There is a general point to …..." Graham Stringer - View Speech
"As you know, Madam Deputy Speaker, I was trying to help you with the intervention by withdrawing from the list, but I am grateful to be on top of the list for the Labour Benches.
"That is very interesting. It is also interesting that papers circulated by the Vote Office said there was no impact assessment. That does not impress me.

On his interesting point about SAGE, we could do with full disclosure from the Government about all the facts that they have available to them on covid. In the Science and Technology Committee this …..." Graham Stringer - View Speech

Would he care to put it on record that we should immediately start an independent public inquiry into what has gone on so that we can …..." Graham Stringer - View Speech
