Overview
- Justice Secretary David Lammy opened the Commons session in place of Labour leader Keir Starmer.

- In response to a question from Conservative MP Bob Blackman, Lammy explained he had bought a new suit that morning because his godmother would be watching.
- He also noted meeting British troops in locations including Cyprus, the Gulf and Australia.
