Speeches by Nokes.

“Order. I respectfully remind the hon. Gentleman not to use the word “you”. He was suggesting that he might like to have a fight with me, and that would not end well.”

“Order. For the assistance of Back Benchers who still wish to speak, I am about to remove the time limit. [Interruption.]”

“Order. May I gently remind the hon. Lady that this is a very specific debate about the removal of the two-child limit and not a wider debate on tax policy?”

“The hon. Lady will be aware that that is not a matter for the Chair. At any point, she would have been able to seek to intervene on the right hon. Member for Wetherby and Easingwold (Sir Alec Shelbrooke).”

“That brings us to the Front Benchers. I call shadow Secretary of State James Cartlidge.”

“The hon. Member will know that it is entirely at the Minister’s discretion, as it would be for any other speaker, if he chooses to give way or not. It is not a matter for the Chair. I am sure the Minister has heard his comments.”

“Order. We must not refer to right hon. and hon. Members by name. Although the hon. Member for Birkenhead (Alison McGovern) was the Minister in post, we would still not refer to her by name.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“I inform the House that Mr Speaker has selected the amendment tabled in the name of the Prime Minister.”

“I thank the hon. Member for his point of order and for having given notice of it. Mr Speaker has received no notice from Ministers that they intend to make a statement on this matter. Ministers on the Front Bench will, however, have heard the hon. Member’s point of order.”

“I thank the right hon. Member for that point of order, which he will know full well is not a point of order.”

“I call the shadow Minister.”
