Proceeding contribution from Mike Kane (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 December 2023. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Infected Blood Inquiry: Government Response.


Infected Blood Inquiry: Government Response

The one tradition that has been upheld today is that of the Paymaster General coming to the House to make a statement that says nothing. He is the ninth Paymaster General since the inquiry was announced, and they keep saying nothing. In the past fortnight alone, he has had to face oral questions and has been defeated in the voting Lobbies, and the Prime Minister was asked a question about this on Wednesday, but we are still no nearer where we need to be. This is a cruel, cruel tease, is it not?
