PMQs row explodes as David Lammy repeatedly refuses to answer

A heated exchange unfolded during Prime Minister’s Questions as Justice Secretary and Deputy Prime Minister, David Lammy, faced intense scrutiny over the accidental release of prisoners. Lammy repeatedly refused to answer questions about whether any more asylum seekers had been wrongly released, despite mounting pressure.

The opposition parties criticized Lammy for his evasive responses, with some accusing him of failing to take responsibility for the justice system. The Speaker of the House struggled to maintain order as the debate became increasingly heated.

Despite the growing controversy, Lammy remained defiant and stood by his decision not to disclose further information. The public outcry over the handling of the situation has sparked calls for accountability and transparency within the government.

As the row continues to escalate, questions remain unanswered about the oversight of the justice system and the implications of further mistakes in the release of prisoners. The fallout from this PMQs session is likely to have lasting repercussions for Lammy and the government as a whole.
