A member of British Parliament’s smartphone assistant, Siri, interrupted him while delivering a statement on the battle against the Islamic State to Parliament Tuesday morning, Dailymail.uk reported.
Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson, embarrassed, laughed with the crowd of officials as a virtual man with a British accent tried to offer the unsolicited information.

“I found something on the web for in Syria, Syrian Democratic forces supported by premonition,” the iPhone assistant said.
“What a very rum business that is!” said Speaker John Bercow in the video.
“I do apologize for this. It is very rare that you are heckled by your own mobile phone,” Williamson said. “On this occasion it is a new parliamentary convention without a doubt. So if I may proceed, Mr. Speaker, without the help and support of Siri,” he continued.
