well, lindsay hoyle is a very mild mannered and i hoyle is a very mild mannered and really decent bloke, a government drawn from parliament, makes statements on plans to parliament, ratherthan makes statements on plans to parliament, rather than briefing the media first. i am looking at my clock. a0 minutes to the press conference, that is one thing. we are about to have a conversation based on things we both read in the news this morning. it is discourteous. as i say, if mr speaker is mad about it, far be it from me to say that is wrong. looks like we will — from me to say that is wrong. looks like we will get _ from me to say that is wrong. looks like we will get a _ from me to say that is wrong. looks like we will get a delay, _ from me to say that is wrong. looks like we will get a delay, after- like we will get a delay, after about four weeks. does that make sense to you? i about four weeks. does that make sense to you?— about four weeks. does that make sense to you? i thought he meant a dela for sense to you? i thought he meant a delay for the _ sense to you? i thought he meant a

sir lindsay hoyle.he school catch—up plan for england offered a preview of a labour led debate later in the commons. labour set out what it would do differently spending more on the pupil premium for vulnerable children and extending free school meals to the summer holidays. honourable members opposite must understand notjust my dismay, but the dismay of every teacher and every parent i have spoken to in the past week, and to be wholly inadequate announcement from the secretary of state providing just 10% of the funding from the government's own highly respected education adviser, sir collins said was needed to enable children and young people to bounce back from the pandemic. the chair of the education committee defended the government's support for schools but he did call for assurances of where the cash would go. my worry about the catch—up funds, as it is, is that it appears not enough is reaching disadvantaged pupils. recent figures suggest that 44% of the pupils receiving the premium were missed.

a less than impressed sir lindsay hoyle.ul call for an emergency debate on the issue that'll be held on tuesday. now, seniorfigures from the retail and hospitality industries have told a group of mps that they will need continued government support to prevent a wave of businesses from going under. although shops, pubs and restaurants have reopened, the treasury committee heard that many firms were facing major financial problems, with large numbers unable to trade profitably due to social distancing and other covid restrictions. the witnesses accepted that the government had provided unprecedented levels of support, but said more was needed. hospitality, we're coming out with about £6 billion worth of government debt, government—backed loans, two and half billion pounds worth of rent debt, and then there are other forms of debt that our businesses will have taken on through banks, through investors, through private equity, and that level of debt is going to take a long time to service. you're going to have to get very high l

a huge amount of respect for lindsay hoyle who is the speaker and he quickly had a very difficult decision in saying that this particular amendment today was not one that could be allowed under the rules. but clearly the speaker feels it is time for the house of commons to have its say on this decision, and i think that's the right role for parliament to play. so i think it is right that we get a chance to see mps have a debate tomorrow and they can represent their communities, and we can all see what the house of commons is then.— can all see what the house of commons is then. ., ~ , ., , . commons is then. thank you very much for our commons is then. thank you very much for yourtime- — 0ur our latest headlines now. the first new treatment for alzheimer's disease for nearly 20 years is approved in the united states, paving the way for its use in the uk. a bid by rebel tory mps to overturn £4bn of cuts to the overseas aid budget is blocked — but the speaker calls on ministers to allow an "effective" vote on the issue. from tomorrow anyone aged 25 to 30 in england will be invited for a covi

the speaker sir lindsay hoyle�*s patience with the prime minister has been wearing thin after borisjohnsonrules to a news conference rather than to mps. i do not find it acceptable - at all that members of all this house are elected to come here to serve their constituents, - not to serve them via sky or bbc. i the question should be made here. - the prime minister should be here. . i'm sorry if his dinner. would've been affected because i was told - that he was in brussels. i think the nearest brussels tonight was the sprouts - at the dinner that was being served to him. i but i say now, prime minister, you are on my watch, - and i want you to treat this house correctly! l after a meeting between the two men, it's now been agreed that mps will get to hear the news at the same time as the rest of us. a conservative mp has apologised to the commons after an inquiry found him in breach of parliament's bullying and harassment policy. the commissioner for standards found that daniel kawczynski had acted in an intimidatory and threatening manner towards two members of staff after technical diff

sir lindsay hoyle urged the government to give parliament a say. i share the house's frustration.ite right that this house should not continue to be taken for granted. but we must do it in the right way, and i believe the government need to respect and need to come forward. i totally agree with the honourable member. not only for this house, but the country needs that this is debated and heard an an effective decision taken. i now put that on the record and hope the government will take up that challenge and treat this house with the respect that it deserves. we are the elected members, this house should be taken seriously and the government should be accountable here. so, i wish and hope very quickly that this is taken on board. i don't want this to drag on. and if not, we will then look to find other ways in which we can move forward. 0ur political correspondent damian grammaticas is following this from westminster. can you first of all explain the mechanics of what has happened in parliament? why the speaker could not put it to a bow and why he clearly was unhappy that he could

this follows an angry intervention by the speaker of the house or lindsay hoyle who told the governmentbe discussing how the announcement today is covered on the new this pages. our guestsjoining me tonight are are broadcaster henry bonsu and former trade minister lord jones. reviewed by the bbc, it was concluded he wasn't hired to cover up concluded he wasn't hired to cover up his deception in obtaining an interview with diana, princess of wales. proper consideration also wasn't given to other controversies. mark easton gives more details. there are accusations as to why martin bashir was rehired by the bbc. he faked documents and lied to get bbc�*s biggest ever scoop, his 95 interview with princess diana. was to contain or cover up that scandal, but today's report said that that was completely unfounded. there were shortcomings in the process, but he was the best in the job among those applied. if any of those who were invited not road access knew the truth about all his lies, he wouldn't have been appointed. that's what the inquiry said. those individuals did know. however, the curre

the commons speaker, sir lindsay hoyle, has angrily criticised downing street for not informing mps firsts but in doing so they must show respect to this place. can ijust say, we weren't going to get a statement until i got involved with downing street? the fact is, this has been forced, to actually get a statement today that was going to be left to tomorrow which would have been totally u na cce pta ble. the fact is, i understand the prime minister at the moment is with nato, there is a big conference going on, he is not here. that's why i insisted that somebody came here to make this statement. the timing of it is 830. i thought that was better than waiting for the prime minister to make a statement tomorrow. this house needs to know and needs to know first. i find it totally unacceptable that once again we see downing street running roughshod over members of parliament. we're not accepting it, and i'm at the stage where i'm beginning to move through other avenues if they are not going to treat this house seriously. what i would say is i think it is time for me to have a meeting with th
