Mr Johnson addressed his departure in last week’s session.
He said: “It’s perfectly true that I leave not at a time of my choosing. It’s absolutely true.
“But I am proud of the fantastic teamwork that has been involved in all of those projects, both nationally and internationally.
“I’m also proud of the leadership that I have given… and I will be leaving soon with my head held high,” he added.
The prime minister jokingly thanked Sir Keir for being “considerably less lethal than other members of this House.”
“Over three years, in spite of every opportunity, he’s never really come up with an idea, a plan or a vision for this country,” he added.
