The Conservative shadow leader of the Commons, Jesse Norman, believes that the options put forward by the restoration and renewal project are unnecessarily ambitious.

And he has a stark warning.

There are fundamental flaws at the very heart of the project.

We want all the electrics and the safety and the wiring and all of the safety mechanisms for fire to be addressed.

Well, yeah.

Conservative MP Jesse Norman raised the issue, arguing that Burnham had breached the presumption of innocence and potentially prejudiced an ongoing criminal trial.

And Commons leader Sir Alan Campbell confirmed Burnham said that he misspoke.

He has apologised and has corrected the record.
