Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between John Lamont and Katie White

Tuesday 7th July 2026 Commons Chamber

[Katie White]

It is really important that we work at international, national and local level. Across our country, we all have a responsibility for the words and phrases that we use, and a responsibility to tackle misinformation and be honest about the challenges. That is not to say that we cannot disagree, but we could do so far more agreeably.

[John Lamont (Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk) (Con)]
