Speeches by Nokes.

“May I confirm with the hon. Member that he has informed the hon. Member for Clacton (Nigel Farage)?”

“I call the shadow Minister.”

“Order. Before I call the next Member, I remind Members that if they are going to seek to make a complaint about the non-declaration of interests or the breaking of rules of conduct by another Member, that would be an issue better raised with the Standards Commissioner than with the Secretary of State today. Equally, if…”

“I think you will find that you used the term “the hon. Member for Clacton”, if you wish to argue back with the Chair.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“Before I call the Secretary of State, may I entreat the hon. Member? I am sure he will have mentioned to the hon. Member for Clacton (Nigel Farage) that he was going to reference him in the House.”

“Order. The hon. Lady will know that we do not refer to other hon. Members by name but by their constituency.”

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

“Order. I encourage the remaining speakers to focus on the fact this is a Finance Bill, and therefore the debate is about taxation measures, not spending.”

“Order. The hon. Lady’s intervention is far too long.”

“The reasoned amendment in the name of the Leader of the Opposition has been selected.”

“Order. I call the Minister.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“Members will be aware that the debate has to conclude by 8.24 pm, so there will be an immediate five-minute time limit. Of course, if Members did not feel obliged to use all five minutes, that would help their colleagues.”

“I thank the hon. Member for her advice. As it happens, she makes a good point. The hon. Member for Broadland and Fakenham (Jerome Mayhew) should not be suggesting any particular motive attributed to that issue, and could he perhaps confine his remaining comments for the next 90 seconds?”

“I call the shadow Secretary of State.”

“Order. We are not having a debate on hereditary Members of the House of Lords. We are debating the Lords message on amendments to the Employment Rights Bill.”

“Order. We are not debating hereditary peers; we are debating the amendments to the Employment Rights Bill.”

“Before we commence consideration of the Lords message, I confirm that nothing in the Lords message engages Commons financial privilege. Clause 23 Right not to be unfairly dismissed: removal of qualifying period, etc”

“I thank the hon. Lady for giving notice of her point of order. I understand that she has notified the hon. Member for Clacton in advance. She will know that this is not a matter for the Chair, but her point has been well and truly put on the record.”
