david symonds (Con) asked Sunak if he agreed that there should be an investigation into claims that Sadiq Khan manipulated the Ulez negotiations.
altar Said Khan should respond to these serious concerns. He said he opposed the expansion of the Ulez district.
altar Said he had great respect and appreciation for public sector workers.
Stephen Flynn, SNP leaders in Westminster say the SNP government has kept its promise to pass the Gender Recognition Reform (GRR) Bill.
altar Says the decision to block it was based on its impact on reserved matters. As a result, the Scottish minister “regretted” the move.
Flynn Say it’s an attempt by the Conservatives to wage a “culture war” with some of the most marginalized in society as victims.
He said Conservative MPs would vote today to scrap retained EU rules, against Scotland’s wishes. Are we not on the slippery slope of abolishing decentralization and imposing direct rule?
Do not say altar. He urged the SNP to work with the UK government on a compromise gender recognition bill.
Philip Dunne (Con) Asked Sunak if he would welcome Chris Skidmore’s net zero review.
altar said he welcomed the scrutiny and was pleased it recognized the leading role played by the UK.
Xingmo Said Sunak reacted by blaming others and diverting attention. He cited figures on how many people would call an ambulance during a PMQ. Will Sunak apologize for ‘fatal chaos’ under his watch?
altar He said he would provide a minimum level of security as soon as possible after passing the bill. He said Starmer would say anything for political purposes. He accused Starmer of breaking promises, saying Starmer was not just for the free movement of people, he was for the free movement of principles.
Xingmo Describe a person who died while waiting for an ambulance. When will the government reinstate the 18 minute wait?
altar Of course the time should come down. But he said Starmer was a “living example” of political gaming. Referring again to Labor-run Wales, he asked why Labor had refused to provide emergency life-saving care for these families.
Xingmo Describe what it was like an hour after someone had a heart attack. How would they feel knowing they had to wait a few more hours?
altar Spews out a list of what he’s doing. But he said Starmer was not putting patients first because he was “in the pocket of his union teller”.
Xingmo Say in Peterborough the ambulance won’t arrive until 2.10pm; in Northampton, 2.20pm; in Plymouth, 2.40pm. So will Sunak stop blaming others? The NHS is in crisis, isn’t it?
altar Said Wales had worse ambulance times. This has nothing to do with politics. It’s about the NHS dealing with unprecedented circumstances, including an early flu outbreak. Why is Labor not supporting the legislation?
Xingmo Saying that Sunak is trying to deflect the question. An ambulance should arrive within 18 minutes. When will you arrive?
altar Said they wanted to improve ambulance care. Starmer talks about lifesaving care. So why is Labor opposing the legislation?
Keir Starmer Say it’s 12:03 AM. If someone calls an ambulance with a suspected heart attack, when does the Prime Minister expect the ambulance to arrive?
altar Say people need care. But if Sunak cares about that, why doesn’t Labor support the government’s minimum service level legislation?
kate nefton (Con) Ask about the importance of the A50/A500 corridor. Will the Prime Minister urge ministers to meet on this?
altar Said the government recognized the importance of the plan. A final decision will be made next year.
Rich Sunak Started by saying he was appalled by David Carrick’s case. He said police must address the flaws in the system.
Following the PMQ, shadow business secretary Jonathan Reynolds asked an urgent question about the Britishvolt debacle.
