Proceeding contribution from Joshua Reynolds (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 April 2026. It occurred during Ministerial statement and Speaker's statement on Security Vetting.
Security Vetting
The Prime Minister once promised to end the chaos, and to restore honesty and integrity to Government. Does he think that appointing a man who called a convicted child sex offender his “best pal”, and whose connections with Epstein were already well known, is consistent with that promise? If it is not, will he step aside and let someone else end his chaos and restore honesty and integrity to Government?
