Bercow: House must be first to hear key policy statements
The new Speaker set out three principles for the House to follow in a brief statement to MPs this afternoon.
He said: “When Ministers have key policy statements to make the House must be the first to hear them, and they should not be released beforehand.
“In statements I ask that frontbenchers stick to their alloted time...backbenchers confine themselves to one brief supplementary”.
He added that “those speaking in the chamber should be heard, so an atmosphere of calm and reasoned order may be retained”.
