Speeches by Nokes.

“Order. The hon. Gentleman will know that we do not refer to Members by name in this place. That is the third time he has referred to the hon. Member for Sherwood Forest by her name.”

“Order. I am sure that the hon. Lady will want to conclude her remarks very quickly.”

“Order. There is now a formal three-minute time limit.”

“Order. The hon. Lady must have misunderstood what I meant by “quickly”.”

“Order. I ask hon. Members to take their lead from the hon. Member for Bassetlaw (Jo White) so that I can get everybody in. If they kept their speeches to three minutes, that would be very helpful.”

“I appreciate the hon. Lady finishing her remarks. Members will have noticed that I indulged the hon. Lady, but unfortunately after the next speaker I will have to reduce the time limit to four minutes so that I can get all Members in.”

“Order. I will now call the next co-sponsor of the debate. After she has spoken, there will be a five-minute time limit.”

“Order. I made the point earlier that in order to get as many Members in as possible, we have to have short questions and answers.”

“We now come to the Select Committee statement on behalf of the Education Committee. Before I call the Chair of the Committee, I remind hon. Members that questions should be brief and should be directed to her and not to those on the Front Bench.”

“Order. Before the Lord Chancellor responds, let me say that a huge number of his own Back Benchers would like to get in this afternoon. He might therefore like to think about getting to the end of his contribution.”

“Order. That is quite simply not a point of order but a point of debate, which the shadow Secretary of State could well come to in due course.”

“The reasoned amendment in the name of Robert Jenrick has been selected.”

“I thank the hon. Member for giving notice of his point of order. He will know that that is not a matter for the Chair. However, I am sure that those on the Government Front Bench will have heard his point of order and will be exhorting their Cabinet Office colleagues to respond as soon as possible.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“I call the shadow Secretary of State.”

“With this it will be convenient to discuss: Lords amendment 22 and Government amendment (b). Lords amendment 1, and Government motion to disagree. Lords amendment 7, and Government motion to disagree. Lords amendment 8, and Government motion to disagree. Lords amendment 21, Government motion to disagree, and Government…”

“I must draw the House’s attention to the fact that Lords amendments 66, 88, 90, 91 and 101 engage Commons financial privilege. If any of those Lords amendments is agreed to, I will cause the customary entry waiving Commons financial privilege to be entered in the Journal. After Clause 22 Contractual duties of confident…”

“I call Lee Pitcher, who will speak for around 15 minutes.”
