Pat McFadden commended the swift handling of Louise Haigh's resignation, contrasting it with previous Conservative governments, emphasizing that the process was prompt, avoiding prolonged chaos.
Haigh's resignation was a quick decision, as McFadden highlighted, saying, "the story came to light, was dealt with very quickly...within 24 hours, we have a new transport secretary."
Haigh expressed that her resignation was necessary to prevent distractions, stating, "this issue will inevitably be a distraction from delivering the work of this government."
In light of Haigh's situation, McFadden didn't confirm if the prime minister was aware of her past conviction, signifying some uncertainty about government transparency.
