Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Interview with Rishi Sunak, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One, 1 October 2023

Summary of complaint

We received complaints from people who were unhappy with how Laura Kuenssberg conducted her interview with Rishi Sunak and thought that she interrupted the prime minister too often.


Our response

This interview was more than twenty minutes long. On a small number of occasions, Laura tried to stop the prime minister because she felt he wasn’t answering the question she had asked and she wanted clarity, particularly on whether the government would stop councils introducing 20 mph zones.

Part of our duty is to hold politicians to account andΒ when necessaryΒ challenge claims that are being put forward.
