“I call the Father of the House.”

“I call the Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee.”

“Order. The right hon. Lady must get to a question shortly, please.”

“I call the leader of the Liberal Democrats.”

“Order. Members will be aware that very many of you wish to contribute to this statement. There is another statement to come, and an important debate later. I encourage you to make your questions short.”

“Order. I think we have got the gist. We really need to have shorter questions, or not everyone will get in.”

“Order. Let me update Members. I will run this statement until 8.15 pm, so questions and answers will need to be very short if everyone is to get in. The second statement will probably last only about 45 minutes.”

“I call the Father of the House.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“Order. This is not a point of order.”

“It is simply not a matter for the Chair. It does not pertain to the statement.”

“I call the Chair of the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee.”
