Whip extended for new ministers
Tue Mar 10, 2026 1:00 pm
New ministers on the Committee for Subsequent Affairs have had the whip extended for the first time in 45 years.
The last time the whip was extended was during the notorious, post-war, so-called 'Swinging Cabinet', compromising of ministers from 'both sides of the house' who liked to vote both ways. This time round the extension seems less obviously justified, with no exposed ministers yet being recorded offering their public services.
Rumours from the lobby circuit suggest the extended whip is partly related to a softening pound, possibly due to overuse, but maybe just age, and a rapid recess in the regions might be required to recover some vigour.
