Speeches by Ghani.

“I inform the House that Mr Speaker has not selected the proposed amendment. I call the shadow Minister.”

“Just to help Back Benchers, when you intervene on a Member, it is up to them whether they want to take the intervention; you do not need my authority.”

“I call Dawn Butler.”

“Order. Shorter questions, please. I call Torcuil Crichton.”

“Order. That question was far too long.”
