Downing Street dismisses calls for MPs to be given time to debate Prince Andrew
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"On Wednesday, Sir Keir Starmer said he would support proper scrutiny of the Crown Estate arrangements, but on Thursday Downing Street suggested that the government is not planning on making time for MPs to debate the matter. Asked if the government would be making time, a No 10 spokesperson said: Prince Andrew has already confirmed he will not use his titles. We support the decision made by the royal family, and we know the royal family would not want to take time from other important issues."
The Independent covers issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, investigating matters such as the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet maintains free access to reporting without paywalls and solicits donations to fund sending journalists to report to both sides of stories. Downing Street has appeared to dismiss providing parliamentary time for a Commons debate on Prince Andrew, stating the royal family would not want to take time from other business. MPs and the public accounts committee will seek details on the Royal Lodge lease arrangements.
