“I thank the Prime Minister for his statement this afternoon.”

“For the final question, I call Jim Shannon.”

“Order. We are debating the Finance Bill and the amendments to it, not the Budget.”

“Order. The hon. Lady was going to be next on my list, but that was a very long intervention.”

“I call the shadow Secretary of State.”

“I thank the hon. Gentleman for meeting the time limit so neatly. That brings us to the Front Benchers.”

When a Member visits another Member’s constituency, except on a purely private visit, they should take reasonable steps in advance to tell the Member in whose constituency the visit is taking place. That guidance als…”

“I thank the hon. Gentleman for giving notice of his point of order. I assume he has notified the hon. Member to whom he is referring.”
