Speeches by Ghani.

“Order. If we are short and sharp, we can probably wrap up proceedings on this statement in the next several minutes, with everybody getting in. Jim Shannon, show us how it is done.”

“I call the shadow Home Secretary.”

“I call the Mother of the House, Diane Abbott.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“I call the Chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee.”

“I call the spokesperson for the Scottish National party.”

“Order. Before the Deputy Prime Minister responds, may I say that if there are declarations of interest to be made, even in interventions, they should be made on the Floor of the House?”

“I call the shadow Secretary of State.”

“Order. We should not refer to other colleagues in the Chamber as “you”. It is quite simple.”

“Order. Over 80 Members wish to contribute. To try to accommodate most of them, I will limit Back-Bench speeches to three minutes and maiden speeches to five minutes. The first Back-Bench contribution is from Mike Amesbury, and I know that he will not want me to cut him off.”

“Order. I call Alison Griffiths.”
