Watch: Dowden faces Rayner at PMQs as UK records highest inflation rates in G20

Watch as Oliver Dowden stands in for PMQs and takes questions from Angela Rayner on Wednesday 7 June.

Rishi Sunak is away on a trip to the United States, where he will meet Joe Biden in the coming days.

That left Mr Dowden to face questions in the House of Commons, where he was quizzed about the issues around the Covid inquiry and schooling.

The government decided last week to take its own inquiry to court amid concerns over “unambiguously irrelevant” material being disclosed.

Former prime minister Boris Johnson, meanwhile, has said he will share all the unredacted WhatsApps he provided to the Cabinet Office, as well as material from his old mobile phone, with the inquiry.

“You have quite properly decided to leave no stone unturned in your search for the truth about government decision making during the pandemic,” he wrote in a letter to inquiry chair Baroness Heather Hallett.
