speaker: sir ed davey. it is a real pleasure to follow the right honorable lady, and i congratulate her on her lovely, heartwarming speech. the liberal democrats join members on both sides of the house in expressing our deepest condolences on the passing of her majesty the queen. we are mourning a profound loss. the queen was a formidable monarch who faithfully served our country all her life, and was loved the world over. she represented not only duty and courage but warmth and compassion, and she was a living reminder of our collective past, of the greatest generation and their sacrifices for our freedom. for many people, myself included, her majesty was an ever-fixed mark in our lives. as the world changed around us and politicians came and went, she was our nation's constant. in challenging times, she was always a source of calm and comfort. she tied our nations together, embodying an unwavering pride in our country. showing us that patriotism is not defined by political allegiance and reminded us of th

the leader of the liberal democrats, sir ed davey, was there. they were very quickly briefed.oon. as you say, attention was very much focused on to the queen and her health of the royal family. other prime ministers who served under her then came out and have also been sending their thoughts at this time. tony blair and... he came out. david cameron came out. we heard this afternoon from downing street, across st james's park. downing street not very far away. the prime minister's official spokesman has simply said this afternoon that liz truss is now working in downing street. there will be no more updates from downing street itself about any communications with the palace. updates will come from the palace. and no plans for the prime minister, liz truss, to travel to scotland today or tomorrow. the liz truss, to travel to scotland today or tomorrow. the queen has dealt with 15 _ today or tomorrow. the queen has dealt with 15 prime _ today or tomorrow. the queen has dealt with 15 prime ministers - dealt with 15 prime ministers through her long reign, the first sir winston chu

the liberal democrats say similar things, ed davey, the liberal democrat leader, he said this is goingt will be the borrowing figure projected now. and what both warn about his —— is they say it will drive up interest rate rises for families who are having to pay mortgages, that sort of thing, and interestingly, some conservatives also coming out and are concerned about some of the same things. julian smith, conservative mp, he said there were many positive measures but a huge tax cut for the very rich at a time of national crisis is wrong, he said. kevin holly rake said it is a conservative principle to balance the books and he is worried about the huge borrowing. he is worried about the huge borrowing-— he is worried about the huge borrowing. he is worried about the huge borrowinu. . ., ., , this all comes at a time when inflation, the rate at which prices rise, is at a 40 year high, 9.9%, leaving many households facing hardship. since the government's announcement today, the pound has fallen sharply against the us dollar as investors digest the biggest tax cutting budget in 50 years

ed by so many people right now. er. daveyor the government quite simply is this, does a statement make things better or does it make it worse? are you going to 5pook the markets and make people feel even more worried if it looks like you are panicking? or do you insist that you are right all along, challenging orthodoxy and you will get growth in the long term and this is a short—term fluctuation, short—term pain for long—term gain? the decision the government has made at the moment is not to try and 5toke the panic, if you like, by getting involved at this stage. what i have said, as you know, is that there will be another statement towards the end of november. if that is brought forward for any reason or if the bank of england intervene for any reason, then that from the government�*s point of view would be more worrying. for the moment they are keeping their fingers crossed and effectively saying we are not going to do anything which suggests they are concerned. they are going to try and say they are sticking to their plan
