The Prime Minister
Yes, of course I will keep the House updated, and of course everybody in No. 10 will co-operate with the Met to the full.
Liam Byrne (Birmingham, Hodge Hill) (Lab)
This is surely a new low: a Prime Minister of our country forced to come here to the mother of Parliaments to plead the fifth in a criminal investigation because, if the truth were told, he knows it would incriminate him. Let me ask a simple question. If he cannot get his facts straight on whether he was at a party in his own flat, how will anyone in this House ever again believe a word he says, and how will our partners around the world ever put their trust in him?
The Prime Minister
I am not going to dignify that question with an answer, except to say that the right hon. Gentleman has to wait. Everything he said is completely prejudicial.
