The Prime Minister
I am not defending him behind process. I am setting out the process to the House.
Dr Neil Shastri-Hurst (Solihull West and Shirley) (Con)
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? As the Prime Minister will know, that means “Who guards the guards themselves?” With that in mind, and on the subject of holding those in power to account, can he explain why he took almost a week to come to this House, when the public will have been expecting answers much sooner?
The Prime Minister
Because I wanted to know who took the decision, the basis upon which they took it, and who knew about the decision, so that I could set out a full account to the House, which is what I have done this afternoon.
