Madam Speaker, the only thing that we are not united on is wanting our Conservative leader to be gagged after being sworn in.
In fact, it is the Prime Minister's chief of staff who admitted that is exactly what happens. According to the Prime Minister's chief of staff, Katie Telford, this would prevent a recipient from using the information in any manner. She said:
Even where that is not the case, briefing political parties on sensitive intelligence regarding an MP could put the leader or representative of a political party in a tough position, because any decision affecting the MP might have to be made without giving them due process.
It is not just taking our word for it; it is the Prime Minister's own chief of staff who admits it is a gag order. That is something that we do not want to do.
