Referral of Prime Minister to Committee of Privileges

Debate between Julian Lewis and Sam Rushworth

Tuesday 28th April 2026 Commons Chamber

[Sam Rushworth]

I simply disagree. Pressure to get things done is part and parcel of what we do in government all the time. I am always under pressure and under deadlines. On the central allegation that the Prime Minister somehow pressured them with regard to the decision, I am sorry but the evidence has not pointed to that in any shape or form.

[Sir Julian Lewis (New Forest East) (Con)]
