| 3 Jun 2026 | Procedure Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 49) “It is very sweet of you to suggest that, but no, because I need to be absolutely certain. It is the reason I do not just go wanging around the library or searching on the internet in the first place. What I want to see are the facts, and I want the data. I understand that I could use AI. Maybe, in a decade’s time, I wi…” | 146 |

| 3 Jun 2026 | Procedure Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 49) “Of course, that is absolutely fine. There are occasions when things are carded. I am told that some of my questions are argumentative and that I am not allowed to be argumentative, and I would say to you that I am never argumentative. I am seeking facts; I want data and I want to be able to back up what I am presupposi…” | 102 |

| 3 Jun 2026 | Procedure Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 49) “I will do that, shall I? Thank you.” | 8 |
| 3 Jun 2026 | Procedure Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 49) “Yes. There are a number of frustrations in the system as it exists. It is not perfect. If I may, I will refer to the notes that I brought because I want to use various examples. I have experience of Departments avoiding substantive answers.

| 3 Jun 2026 | Procedure Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 49) “I am very reliant on them. I have to say that—probably in common with any number of MPs—I have an idea of what the answer might be before I ask the question because I will have done my research beforehand, but I am very reliant on making sure that the Government are accurate in their answers.” | 56 |

| 3 Jun 2026 | Procedure Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 49) “Hang on a minute—I read them. When I wrote this with my wonderful team, I think we covered pretty much everything. Quite often, if I know I am not going to be present at a particular ministerial questions session for some reason, I will use introductory questions. Very often, those are questions that have been pre-appr…” | 149 |
| 3 Jun 2026 | Procedure Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 49) “Thank you for your question, but I do not stop until I have what I think is probably the answer.

I want to assure you that I have not asked questions that are so wide that …” | 125 |
