John Bercow has just announced the result of the elections for the three Deputy Speakers.
The successful candidates were:
- Lindsay Hoyle – Chairman of Ways and Means
- Nigel Evans – 1st Deputy Chairman of Ways and Means
- Dawn Primarolo – 2nd Deputy Chairman of ways and Means
Needless to say, having backed both Lindsay and Nigel, I am delighted to see them both elected.
