Speeches by Nokes.

“I call the shadow Secretary of State.”

“Order.”

“Order. You can refer to the Chancellor of the Exchequer as the Chancellor or by her constituency name, but not by her own name.”

“I call Perran Moon.”

“After the next speaker there will be a five-minute time limit.”

“Order. In an attempt to get everybody in today, I am going to put an immediate six-minute time limit on speeches.”

“Order. I call Graeme Downie.”

“Order.”

“Order. The hon. Lady should refer to colleagues not by name, but by constituency. She will, perhaps, think carefully when referring to the hon. Member for Clacton (Nigel Farage).”

“I am letting Members know that I will drop the time limit to seven minutes after the next speaker.”

However,…”

“With this it will be convenient to discuss the following: Government new clause 46—Extension of general power of competence to English National Park authorities and the Broads Authority. Government new clause 49—“National minimum standard” and “regulated licence”. Government new clause 50—Standards relating to the gran…”

“I am grateful to the hon. Member for giving notice of his point of order. I have not had any indication that a Minister intends to come to the House to make a statement, but he has put his point on the record and the Table Office can advise him on how to pursue the matter further.”

“I thank the right hon. Member for his point of order. He will have heard my previous response and will know that Ministers are responsible for the accuracy of their remarks in the House. Those on the Treasury Bench will have heard his concerns and if a correction is needed, I am sure one will be forthcoming. On the iss…”
