Matt ChorleyHOST
Let's talk about the Houses of Parliament and the state they are in.
Matt ChorleyHOST
The Commons Speaker, Lindsay Hoyle, has been talking about the delays to the restoration of Parliament, saying they are frustrating.
Lindsay HoyleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
What we have to do is renovate and repair the problem areas.
Lindsay HoyleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's very frustrating when the Act in Parliament prevents you carrying out the major repairs that you need to.
Caroline WheelerHOST
I have left the comfort of the week in Westminster studio and I'm now standing in the shadow of the Big Ben clock tower in Parliament because tomorrow is Remembrance Sunday and in the evening images marking 110 years since the Battle of the Somme will be projected onto the tower.
Caroline WheelerHOST
At the centre of Remembrance commemorations will be the Common Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle.
Caroline WheelerHOST
Earlier I went to Speaker's house to ask him about the plans.
Lindsay HoyleGUEST
First of all, I'll be at the Cenotaph on Whitehall, where I will lay a wreath on behalf of Parliament.
5 MINS LATER
Lindsay HoyleGUEST
Operation Ford have a responsibility for parliamentary candidates, councillors, and Operation Ford will be looking to look after ex-members of parliament as well.
Lindsay HoyleGUEST
And that's so important because we can't just abandon people.
Caroline WheelerHOST
Sir Lindsay Hoyle.
Caroline WheelerHOST
I think we just made some
Andy ZaltzmanHOST
Does anyone know the answer? Who was cross?
Ayesha HazarikaPANELIST
I have a feeling that it might be the Speaker of the House of Commons, Lindsay Hoyle, because I think he gave the Energy Minister a right row, because the protocol is that you must make announcements first to the House of Commons first.
Ayesha HazarikaPANELIST
before you tell the media.
Ayesha HazarikaPANELIST
And I just think it's not that reassuring that we can't even announce plans to get gas going without there being a massive leak.
Andy ZaltzmanHOST
LAUGHTER It was Lindsay Hoyle, the Chorley Beyonce.
Andy ZaltzmanHOST
described the fact that it was announced to the media before Parliament as shameful and appalling.
Ahir ShahPANELIST
Can I...
Ahir ShahPANELIST
Like, serious question.
Mark D'ArcyHOST
As a Sussex MP, you had a tie with marklets on it and so forth.
Mark D'ArcyHOST
I mean, Lindsay Hoyle did very well out of chairing budgets in the John Bercow years.
Mark D'ArcyHOST
Is there an element here of auditioning?
Nusrat GhaniGUEST
I mean, I wear the uniform that my predecessors have worn for hundreds of years.
Mark D'ArcyHOST
It was a really interesting, in-depth account of how the person in the chair goes about managing the chamber in much more detail, really, than I've heard from almost anybody else ever.
Ruth FoxHOST
Yeah, it was very good on the atmospherics and what she's thinking about and how she thinks about managing the chamber, which MPs she's, well, she didn't name them, but we can guess from the budget debate, but which MP she's looking for in the chamber who may be, I think in her terms, you know, naughty antics.
Ruth FoxHOST
We did rather, I should say, Mark, we did rather, or rather you did rather, put her on the spot about whether this is an audition for the next speakership once Lindsay Hoyle decides to stand down.
Mark D'ArcyHOST
I do recall actually once asking Lindsay Hoyle very much the same question when he was the senior deputy speaker and chairing budgets in the John Bercow era.
Andy BurnhamSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I love that.
Andy BurnhamSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Sir Lindsay Hoyle does that with great distinction as Speaker of the House of Commons.
Andy BurnhamSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But perhaps the two of us can form a pretty powerful axis if it does come to pass for this sport, because I think this sport does need more.
Andy BurnhamSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's a brilliant spectacle.
Peter FlanaganHOST
But those appointments have prompted calls for greater scrutiny of his time in Parliament.
Peter FlanaganHOST
Sinn Féin MP Cathal Mallon has written to the Speaker of the House of Commons, Lindsay Hoyle, demanding a full independent investigation into Donaldson's activities as an MP.
Peter FlanaganHOST
He wants answers about where Donaldson travelled, on official business, the work that he carried out and whether his children's rights responsibilities brought him into contact with children.
Peter FlanaganHOST
Now, another investigation has revealed just how extensive some of Dollinson's international work was.
Gary SterkoffHOST
She'll be speaking tomorrow at the Chatham House International Affairs think tank.
Gary SterkoffHOST
Today she was welcomed by the British House of Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle to Prime Minister's Questions.
Lindsay HoyleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Before we come to Prime Minister's questions, I'd like to welcome in the gallery, Nancy Pelosi, the US House of Representatives.
Gary SterkoffHOST
And a reminder that Prime Minister's Question Time in the British House of Commons airs the Sunday after it originally takes place on a Wednesday at 10 p.m. Eastern on C-SPAN Radio and C-SPAN Television and the free C-SPAN Now mobile app.
Peter CardwellGUEST
the chairwoman of ways and means essentially the financial oversight so it's Nusrat Ghani a conservative she's been a bit school mormy today certainly a lot of these people when they get into the speaker's role John Bercow was the classic example PhD in Well, he did.
Peter CardwellGUEST
Also, I think Lindsay Hoyle as well.
Peter CardwellGUEST
They just speak about 20% too much if they just sort of root it back a little bit.
Peter CardwellGUEST
Well,
Aubrey AllegrettiGUEST
I mean, someone did an analysis that said that Andrew Burnham's answers at PMQs are like double the length of some previous prime ministers because he actually genuinely enjoys going into detail.
Aubrey AllegrettiGUEST
He doesn't get scolded quite so much by people like Lindsay Hoyle for not actually answering the questions.
Aubrey AllegrettiGUEST
So, yeah, he is a very different politician and prime minister to deal with.
Aubrey AllegrettiGUEST
But for journalists, that has actually provided quite a lot of helpful explanation about what he thinks and, more importantly,
Matt ChorleyHOST
Of course you can.
Matt ChorleyHOST
But it won't be the Commons Speaker, Lindsay Hoyle, in the hot seat.
Matt ChorleyHOST
No, he'll be doing PMQs and then he shifts out the way to make space for the Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, who is also Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons.
Matt ChorleyHOST
That is Nusrat Ghani, who is basically her job to try and maintain order as a Chancellor and the Leader of the Opposition... sort of fight it out over the budget and then all of the other MPs who get up and want to make their points.
