S1 E9: MR SPEAKER - Rt Hon Sir Lindsay Hoyle MP
About this episode
In what might just be a ministerial first, Speaker of the House of Commons Sir Lindsay Hoyle is interviewed by Leader of the House of Commons Jacob Rees-Mogg. Mr Speaker used their interview to reflect on his first 12 months in the job - including his unexpected diagnosis of type 1 diabetes during the general election and masterminding the extraordinary changes made to allow scrutiny to continue during the coronavirus pandemic.
