It’s Wednesday, which means MPs in Westminster get their
weekly chance to ask questions directly to the government.
Usually, it’s the prime minister and leader of the
opposition who go face-to-face in the House of Commons. But with Keir Starmer away
in France for the G7 summit (more on that later), he and Conservative Party
leader Kemi Badenoch are passing the baton today.
So, answering questions today will
be Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy, with shadow energy secretary Claire Coutinho across the dispatch box.
As ever, we don’t know what questions will be asked, but in
our next few posts we will bring you up to speed on the key happenings in Westminster
over the last week.
Deputy Prime Minister’s Questions will be streamed at the
top of this page from 12:00, and we’ll be bringing you updates and analysis
from the House of Commons throughout the session.
