The Commons Speaker is exploring the possibility of establishing a Speaker’s conference to assess security matters for politicians.
Sir Lindsay Hoyle has challenged critics of MPs to stand against them at the next election rather than pursue “bovver boy politics of intimidation”.
Speaking ahead of the State Opening of Parliament on Wednesday, Sir Lindsay told the PA news agency: “This is a new Parliament, this is a new beginning.” “I want people to respect an opinion which is not the same. The fact that we work together, we need to showcase this Parliament as why we’re renowned around the world for our democracy and people copy the Westminster model, but you don’t want to copy bad practice, you want people to copy good practice and that’s what I want to see out of this Parliament.
“If you don’t like the person that’s been elected, stand against them at the next election. We do it through the ballot box, not through bovver boy politics of intimidation.” He said: “We could argue that the Ministerial Code is not fit for purpose, it needs modernising, it needs to be looked at.
