Hoyle leads tributes to former speaker Baroness Boothroyd

Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle provided for time in the commons today for tributes to be made for former speaker Baroness Boothroyd.

Leading the tributes, Sir Lindsay said: “One of Betty’s trademark appeals to members who took too long to get their words out during prime minister’s questions was “Time’s up”. Well, Madam Speaker, we are devastated that your time is up, but on behalf of us all. You will never be forgotten”.
