David Lammy has been issued a dressing down by Speaker of the House Sir Lindsay Hoyle.

Following the completion of the Deputy Prime Minister’s address to the Commons, Sir Lindsay said: “Can I just clear something up, and it’s not got to happen.

“First of all, I was told that this Secretary needed 13 minutes. Bear with me – and I said look, you need to ask. The Department said it was 10. It wasn’t 10, it was almost 12 minutes.

“I will work with Secretaries of State but it is 10 minutes. If there needs to be an extension, please ask, don’t keep changing the times. In the end it is unfair on shadow ministers when it goes over.

“Please, stick to the rule of 10. To have this conversation with the Department that it was no longer needed makes your Department took foolish and it’s certainly not going to make me look foolish in the future,” the Speaker advised.
