Good question!
I would guess that it wasn't, not quite; that announcement was immediately preceded by the long shot of the flag.
Sky just started their link before the ticker clock turned to 18:31. Their upload of Truss's speech shows the ticker turning to 19:08 just as she opens her black book with her script; ITV's livestream of their evening coverage has this moment at 2:08:30, meaning the stream started at 16:59:30. Mary starts to break the news (before that abortive pause to check the statement) at 1:32:18 on that same video, so at 18:31:48.
No on-screen clock for BBC, and the section between 18:00 and the News Report slide (which contains the first BBC One announcement) is no longer on iPlayer, so I don't have a time for the BBC. But my suspicion is Murnaghan on Sky was first.
