Speeches by Ghani.

“I call another member of the Select Committee.”

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

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“I call the Chair of the Education Committee.”

“I call Justice Committee member Alex Barros-Curtis.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“I call the Chair of the Justice Committee.”

“I call the shadow Minister.”

“Before we come to the statement on the Government’s 10-year prison capacity strategy, I note that it was published yesterday, the day after Justice questions in the House.

“I call the shadow Minister.”

“Order. The Minister has been in the Chamber for well over an hour. He will no doubt recognise the strength of feeling towards this subject, because it has taken so long to talk about building homes.

“I call the ever-patient Ben Obese-Jecty.”

“I call Joe Powell, another Select Committee member.”

“I call Chris Curtis, who I should have called earlier as a member of the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee—my apologies.”

“I call Gagan Mohindra, a member of the Select Committee.”

“With an example of a short question, I call Barry Gardiner.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“Order. Thirty-five colleagues are bobbing, but the questions and answers are getting longer. Can we please keep them short?”

“We come to the final Back-Bench contribution, no doubt saving the best till last.”
