What a farce this is! Keir Starmer is on his way to COP30 so his deputy, David Lammy, was answering for the government. As is the custom Kemi Badenoch did not appear for the Opposition as the PM was absent and she was replaced by the Defence Secretary, James Cartlidge. The Opposition are allowed 6 questions but Cartlidge kept repeating a question about whether a second asylum seeker had been released in error and Lammy avoided giving an answer. The Speaker ruled that Cartlidge had had his allotted 6 questions and moved on.
At the end Cartlidge raised a point of order saying that the Daily Telegraph is reporting a second asylum had been released in error and asking if Lammy knew this when he asked the question. Apparently it happened last week but was only reported to the police yesterday!
ETA- It`s now been confirmed a prisoner was released in error. He is Algerian apparently but not an asylum seeker.
