Speeches by Nokes.

“I call Dame Siobhain McDonagh to wind up.”

“I call the shadow Minister.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“Order. The shadow Secretary of State has already spoken for longer than the Minister, which must be something of a record. I appreciate that there have been a lot of interventions on the shadow Secretary of State from Government Front Benchers, but perhaps he can draw his remarks to a close. The Minister will have ampl…”

“That brings us to the Front-Bench contributions. I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

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

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

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

“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.”

“Order. After the next speaker, I am going to have to drop the time limit to two minutes, because there is a very important debate on Gaza that I would like to start by 3.30 pm.”

“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, …”

“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.”

“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. 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.”

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

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