Proceeding contribution from Sam Rushworth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 April 2026. It occurred during Debate and Speaker's statement on Referral of Prime Minister to Committee of Privileges.

Referral of Prime Minister to Committee of Privileges

A moment ago, the Leader of the Opposition talked about selective quoting. I am sure that she would not want to selectively quote Sir Olly Robbins herself, so could she tell us what the rest of that quote was? When he talked about pressure, was he talking about pressure to deliver a decision in time for President Trump’s inauguration, or was he saying that he felt pressure to materially change what the decision would be? That is quite an important distinction, is it not?
