Speeches by Cummins.

“Before I respond to the right hon. Member’s point of order, I say for the benefit of all Members that points of order should be concise.

“I thank the hon. Member for her point of order, and for confirming that she notified the hon. Member for Runcorn and Helsby in advance of making it.

“I call the Father of the House.”
