Speeches by Nokes.

“Order. I can run this only until 2 pm, so can questions and answers be brief, please?”

“After more than an hour of diligent bobbing, I call Chris Vince.”

“I thank the Minister for her answers this afternoon. I ask anyone who is leaving before the Select Committee statement to do so quickly and quietly.”

“I call the Father of the House.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“Order. It might be helpful if I emphasised that we are not here to relitigate yesterday’s debate; we are here to debate the amendments that have been tabled today. I am sure the hon. Member will restrict his comments to that.”

“Order. The hon. Lady will have the opportunity to contribute later. Interventions really do need to be shorter than this.”

“I thank the right hon. Member for his point of order. He will know that the Member who put forward the amendment has the right to withdraw it and has indicated that they will do so. It is at the Chair’s discretion whether a separate decision is called for, and in this case it is my understanding that the amendment is n…”

“I thank the hon. Member for his point of order. Had he been in the Chamber earlier, he would have heard several earlier points of order on this question. He would also have heard me say that a decision on the new clause would be at the discretion of the Chair, and Mr Speaker indicated earlier that there would be a sepa…”

“Order. I call Alex Brewer.”

“Order. The right hon. Member for Stone, Great Wyrley and Penkridge (Sir Gavin Williamson) should not be shouting at the Clerks in that way. I have made my point. I call the Minister.”

“I thank the hon. Member for that point of order. It is simply not the case that it has to be withdrawn on the Floor of the House; this has happened on numerous occasions. I call the Minister.”

“Order.”

“I call the shadow Minister.”

“Members will be able to see how many are standing. I do not intend to put a formal time limit on, but if Members can keep their contributions below five minutes, everybody will just about squeeze in.”
