Speeches by Nokes.

“We now come to the Select Committee statement on behalf of the Business and Trade Committee. Liam Byrne will speak for up to 10 minutes, during which no interventions may be taken. At the conclusion of his statement, I will call Members to ask questions on the subject of the statement. These should be brief questions, …”

“Order. Members will know that two debates are scheduled this afternoon, which will necessitate a very tight time limit of three minutes from the get-go.”

“I call Anna Dixon, who will speak for up to 15 minutes.”

“I thank the hon. Member for her point of order. There will be no further points of order on this issue.”

“I call Charlotte Cane on a point of order in connection with the code of conduct to rectify a failure to declare.”

“I will now announce the result of today’s deferred Division on the draft Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) Order 2026. The Ayes were 392 and the Noes were 116, so the Ayes have it. [The Division list is published at the end of today’s debates.]”

“I call the shadow Minister.”

“Order. I count two uses of the word “you”. I have not said anything; it is the hon. Member for Rutland and Stamford (Alicia Kearns) who has made a comment, but any intervention needs to be via the Chair.”

“Order. Will the hon. Lady make sure that she refers to the Prime Minister as the Prime Minister, please?”

“I thank the hon. Member for putting that on the record. If there are no more points of order, I call Wendy Morton.”

“The hon. Gentleman will have heard my earlier comment that it is a matter not for the Chair but for the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards if he has failed to declare interests during the debate.”

“I did ask the Member to withdraw his comments. He now has the opportunity to do so.”

“I thank the hon. Member for that point of order. He will know that declarations of interest are not a matter for the Chair. However, he might be advised to refer that to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards for investigation.”

“I thank the right hon. Gentleman for that point of order. As he will know, the powers of the ISC are not a matter for the Chair. However, the Minister on the Front Bench will have heard his comments and will have every opportunity in winding up to respond to that specific point and to provide the entire House with the …”

“I thank the hon. Gentleman for his point of order. He has very clearly brought into question the probity of the hon. Member for Great Yarmouth (Rupert Lowe). He might want to withdraw that. It is of course a matter for the hon. Member for Great Yarmouth to declare that, which he could now do by putting any interest on …”

“Order. That is not a point of order; it is a point of debate. I do not think it is appropriate during points of order specifically on the Intelligence and Security Committee to raise that matter. It is not for the Chair to rule on comments by other Members during the course of the debate.”

“Order. There are several other points of order. I am keen that we do not conduct the debate via points of order, so, if the right hon. Gentleman will allow me, I will take two further points of order and then respond to his point of order. Hopefully we might then have an answer.”

“Will the Serjeant at Arms investigate the delay in the Aye Lobby?”

“I call the shadow Minister.”

“Order. Not “you”—I have not spoken in this debate!”
