PMQs In Full: Angela Rayner Faces Off Against Oliver Dowden At Deputy PMQs

Prime Minister’s Questions will be beginning at noon in the House of Commons.

Sir Keir Starmer is in Samoa along with King Charles and Queen Camilla, for a gathering of Commonwealth presidents and prime ministers, so Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner will be filling in for him.

She will face shadow Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden.

As this is the last PMQs before the Budget on 30 October, questions about the state of the public finances are likely to be on the agenda.

Other topics that may come up include the war in the Middle East, the independent review into the water industry that could consider abolishing regulator Ofwat, questions over whether the UK should pay slavery reparations and the Trump campaign’s claim that Labour volunteers campaigning for Kamala Harris is “blatant foreign interference”.

After PMQs is over, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper will be making a statement on a review into how firearms police officers who take fatal shots in the line of duty are held to account, after Sergeant Martyn Blake was acquitted of murder in the Chris Kaba case earlier this week.
