Sir Lindsay Harvey Hoyle (born 10 June 1957)[1] is a British politician. He has been the 35th Speaker of the House of Commons since 2019. He has been a Member of Parliament (MP) for Chorley since 1997. He was a Labour Party MP. However, he was elected as speaker so he has been independent from 2019.
As a Labour MP, Hoyle was the 41st First Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons to John Bercow from 2010 to 2019, before being elected as Speaker on 4 November 2019.[2] In February 2024 a controversial decision by Hoyle, during the SNP debate on the conflict in Gaza, led to the tabling of an early day motion (EDM) of no confidence against him. The motion was ultimately defeated.
