| 16 Dec 2025 | Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 463) “Since taking office, the Prime Minister has said that successful mission Government would require nothing less than a “complete rewiring of the British state to deliver bold and ambitious long-term reform”.

| 9 Dec 2025 | Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1488) “In terms of your power to veto, my understanding is that you can ask a party to reconsider a nomination and you can provide advice to the Prime Minister, but that advice remains confidential; therefore, you have no veto powers.
