Prime Minister's Questions
No PMQs questions found for this MP.
Before we come to Prime Minister's questions, I know that the thoughts of the House will be with those affected by the events in Belfast this week. Charges have been brought against a man following an attack on Monday night and other charges may follow including in respect of events in Belfast in the aftermath.
Context
The Speaker addressed the House regarding recent violent incidents in Belfast.
Lindsay Hoyle (Speaker)
Charges have been brought against a man following the attack on Monday night. That case is now sub judice. It is possible that other charges will be brought, including in respect of events in Belfast in the aftermath. I am granting a full waiver to allow Members to discuss wider issues raised in the context of this incident. However, I must urge Members in the strongest terms not to discuss the details of any individual case. This includes not discussing any motive nor the guilt or innocence of any individual. Members should avoid wider speculation that could be prejudicial in any future criminal trials.

Before Prime Minister's questions, Lindsay Hoyle made a statement about the House's practices for addressing accusations of lying or deliberate misrepresentation. He mentioned that there are means by which such accusations can be brought before the House but Members may not accuse each other directly unless a substantive motion is under consideration.
Context
There are frustrations around the House's practices for addressing accusations of lying.
Lindsay Hoyle
It is important to stress context, similar words said in different proceedings might attract a different response from the Chair depending on the subject being debated, tone and other considerations. The Chair will not tolerate accusations of lying or deliberately misleading the House. This practice is set out in “Erskine May” and followed by successive Speakers and Deputy Speakers.

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. On 7 January, this House suffered the loss of the hon. Member for Birmingham, Erdington, Jack Dromey, and it is right that we should come together now in tribute to his memory. Let me offer my condolences, on behalf of the whole Government, to the Mother of the House, the right hon. and learned Member for Camberwell and Peckham (Ms Harman), and her family.
Context
The Speaker begins PMQs by paying tribute to the late MP Jack Dromey, discussing his career and contributions.
The Prime Minister Boris Johnson
Although Jack and I may have come from different political traditions, I knew him as a man of great warmth and energy and compassion. I can tell the House that one day—a very hot day—Jack was driving in Greece when he saw a family of British tourists, footsore, bedraggled and sunburned, with the children on the verge of mutiny against their father: an experience I understand. He stopped the car and invited them all in, even though there was barely any room. Jack had a profound commitment to helping all those around him, and those he served, and he commanded the utmost respect across the House. Jack will be remembered as one of the great trade unionists of our time—a veteran of the Grunwick picket lines, which he attended with his future wife, where they campaigned alongside the mainly Asian female workforce at the Grunwick film processing laboratory. He was a fantastic local campaigner who always had the next cause, the next campaign, the next issue to solve. Jack combined that irrepressible work ethic with a pragmatism and spirit of co-operation, which you have just described so well, Mr Speaker. While Jack once said that he was born on the left and would die on the left, I can say that he will be remembered with affection and admiration by people on the right and in the middle, as well as on the left.

Important Context
- - Ministers answer questions rather than asking them, so have different activity patterns
- - Activity quantity doesn't measure quality or effectiveness of representation
- - Some MPs focus more on constituency work than parliamentary questions
- - Newly elected MPs will have less parliamentary history
