Speeches by Nokes.

“Order. I am simply not going to have this. There is too much chuntering, and indeed yelling, across the Chamber from a sedentary position. The Minister might like to focus on responding to the question that was asked by the Lib Dem spokesperson, not to heckling from the rest of the Chamber.”

“I call the vice-chair of the ISC.”

“Order. When questions run to two pages and take a minute, perhaps Members might think about cutting them down slightly.”

“I thank the right hon. Gentleman for advance notice of his point of order. He will know that, as Chair, I am not responsible for the answers that Ministers give to written parliamentary questions, although he might also know that the Procedure Committee is currently holding an inquiry into this very issue. I encourage …”

“Can the Minister perhaps restrict himself to the amendments?”

“With this it will be convenient to discuss: Government amendments (a) and (b) in lieu of Lords amendment 7. Lords amendments 1 to 6 and 8 to 15.”

“Order. I am hopeful that we can find consensus that questions and answers need to be shorter. I intend to keep the Minister here until all Members have been satisfied this afternoon, but we do need to speed up.”

“I inform the House that nothing in the Lords amendments engages Commons financial privilege. After Clause 19 Court transcripts of sentencing remarks”

“I call the shadow Secretary of State for Justice.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“Just to provide clarity, the Minister can indeed continue until 10 pm, but she does not have to.”

“Order. In the region of 10 Members wish to speak. If they restrict themselves to about five minutes each, I will probably get everybody in.”

“Order. The debate is not about lockdown; it is about financial support. I hope the right hon. Lady is concluding her remarks.”

“There will now be a formal four-minute time limit.”

“Order. The subject of the debate is financial support specifically during the covid pandemic. The right hon. Lady might want to make sure she stays within scope of that.”

“Order. I call Iqbal Mohamed.”

“Order. We do not refer to the Prime Minister by his name, but as the Prime Minister.”

“Order. I call Olly Glover.”

“That brings us to the Front-Benchers’ speeches. I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“Order. I appreciate that the hon. Lady is referring to the self-employed and small businesses who were impacted by covid-19 financial support, but I am not convinced that Making Tax Digital and the Employment Rights Bill fall within the scope of this debate.”
