Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle hopes meeting at his constituency will raise Lancashire town’s profile
When Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the US House of Representatives, suggested to Lindsay Hoyle, her UK counterpart, that they hold the G7 speakers’ conference in “his district”, she might not have realised how enthusiastically the Lancastrian would embrace the idea.
Hoyle said that Pelosi had asked, “We always go to London, can we get out of London?”, and so this weekend politicians from the world’s richest nations will be descending on the Lancashire market town of Chorley.
