Speeches by Ghani.

“I call Chair of the Education Committee.”

“I call the shadow Minister.”

“I call the shadow Leader of the House.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“Mr Jogee, are you now finally comfortable in the Chamber? Before, you wanted to swap. [Interruption.] Marvellous. I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“The hon. Gentleman will no doubt have already contacted the Member he referenced. If not, I have no doubt that he will do so forthwith. If only the Chair were responsible for the content of Members’ questions and answers, but unfortunately it is not. The hon. Gentleman has now put his words on the record and will no do…”

“Order. We do not use language such as “misled the House” when talking about colleagues. The hon. Gentleman will have to check his words if he wishes to continue.”

“I call the shadow Minister.”

“The hon. Member has now twice put her words on the record, no doubt. If she is not aware—and for colleagues across the House who may not be aware—Hansard has its own editorial policy. If she wishes to have her words corrected, she needs to take that up directly with Hansard. That is not a responsibility of the Chair.”

“Order. You meant, “as the Minister hollows out”, not me. Minister—a swift response.”

“I am grateful to the hon. Member for giving notice of his point of order. The Chair is not responsible for Ministers’ replies to correspondence from hon. Members, but colleagues in all parts of the House are entitled to expect a timely response to their letters, especially from Ministers on constituency matters. He has…”

“Order. Please be seated; I am on my feet. You heard the Minister say that. You do not refer to the Minister as “you”. Please come to the question.”

“I call a Treasury Committee member, Bobby Dean.”

“I am grateful to the hon. Member for giving notice of her point of order. The Chair is not responsible for Members’ comments on social media, but I am sure the Table Office will be able to advise on how to pursue the matter further.”

“I am grateful to the hon. Member for giving notice of his point of order and, I believe, for confirming that he notified the hon. Member for South Suffolk. The remarks he refers to were not recorded in Hansard. None the less, I remind all hon. Members that good temper and moderation are the characteristics of parliamen…”

“Order. The speaking limit has now been reduced to three minutes.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“I inform the House that Mr Speaker has not selected any amendments. I call the shadow Secretary of State to move the motion.”

“Order.”

“Order. We have two Opposition day debates that are both heavily subscribed, so we will start with a speaking limit of four minutes.”
