Broadcast media have protocols they need to follow, so you're not going to have a talking-head on Sky News pipe up with "I've actually just been told by someone that she's karked it". true enough ... just seems to go against the protocol to notify MP's during a sitting The official process, known as Operation London Bridge, will see The Queen’s private secretary Sir Edward Young, notify the prime minister.

mjmooney Posted September 8, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 8, 2022 Lineup for the funeral should be interesting. I'd guess Queen (obvs), Rod Stewart, Cliff, Oasis, Ozzy, Spice Girls, Robbie Williams and Jay Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every MP is going to be sitting reading Twitter while the other side are talking, so it's going to be found out. I suppose the only way to solve it would be to delay the announcement that they made so they could tell Truss quietly afterwards. But then if the Queen has just died, they're probably not going to think that not interrupting Truss talking about energy policy is more important.

The UK parliament will adjourn, as will devolved legislatures in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The prime minister will subsequently make a statement; no other members of the UK government will be permitted to make any kind of statement until after this. They will then have an audience with the new monarch, King Charles. MPs will offer tributes to the Queen in the House of Commons the day after the Queen’s death. Parliamentary business will be suspended for 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
