I have signed regulations for the Free Speech Act, to bring provisions into force on 1 August.

We’re protecting the rights of students, academics & speakers—ensuring our universities remain places of open debate, not censorship.

@nmdacosta Speaker will today nominate 3 temporary Deputy Speakers to serve until the House elects the Deputy Speakers. Election likely before summer recess. Interesting to see the party split when DS elected - will Official Opposition have both Chair of Ways and Means and Second Deputy?

@HannaFromHeaven It's vile. It wouldn't enter anyone's head to suggest Cameron is Conservative leader because he's 'not disturbingly sexy'
