Penny Mordaunt announces MPs will debate privileges committee special report on 10th July

MPs will debate the privileges committee special report into Boris Johnson allies who criticised the operation of the committee on Monday 10th July, leader of the House Penny Mordaunt has confirmed.

Responding to the announcement, shadow leader of the House Thangam Debbonaire said: “Is [the prime minister] really still happy for senior MPs in his own party to undermine and attack Britain’s democratic institutions? Isn’t it time he personally condemned those who sought to override parliament’s standard system to get one off at one of their own, off the hook?”
