Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle has slapped down a transport minister who claimed Boris Johnson is "always right".
Conservative frontbencher Andrew Stephenson was asked by Labour's Grahame Morris (Easington) to correct the Prime Minister's previous denial over Transport for the North suffering a 40% budget cut.
Mr Stephenson replied: "The honourable gentleman has been in this House long enough to know that the Prime Minister is always right."
Sir Lindsay intervened and said: "You might be proved wrong."
Johnson claimed there has been "no such cut" to Transport for the North's budget when challenged about it last month during Prime Minister's Questions.
Board papers for the transport body, which aims to boost connectivity in the North of England, said core funding from the Government would drop from £10 million in 2020/21 to £6 million in 2021/22.
Mr Johnson had been asked by Labour former minister Dame Diana Johnson how the cut fitted with his plan for "levelling up" the North.
The Prime Minister was also accused of lying to MPs at PMQs this week by incorrectly claiming that Labour voted against an NHS funding package.
In January, shadow transport secretary Jim McMahon also accused Mr Johnson of "misleading" MPs by claiming his 200-day-old comments on quarantine measures were recent.
