Speeches by Ghani.

“Order. Interventions do not allow other colleagues to speak. I call Chris Coghlan.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“I call the shadow Minister.”

“That was perfectly short and sweet. Question put and agreed to. Resolved, That this House has considered support for Gurkha veterans.”

“As you know, Mr Rosindell, I was not given any prior notice of your point of order. As you may or may not be aware, that is not a matter for the Chair. However, you have most definitely got your point on the record, and those on the Treasury Bench are no doubt busy scribbling away and will make sure that the appropriat…”

“Another point of order, Mr Rosindell? Two in one go?”

“Once again, Mr Rosindell, that is not a matter for the Chair. Today’s debates were determined by the Backbench Business Committee; the hon. Member may wish to make an application to the Committee, or ask the Leader of the House at the next business questions. I do wish him a very happy Easter.”

“Before we come to the Adjournment debate, I should inform the House that there are live inquests into the deaths of six babies, so those cases are technically sub judice under the rules of the House. However, Mr Speaker has issued a waiver for today’s debate to allow the cases to be referred to, given that the inquests…”

“Order.”

“I, too, wish everybody, and especially my constituents in Sussex Weald, a very happy Easter. Question put and agreed to.”

“Order. Those Members who have come into the Chamber extremely late will not be called to participate in the statement. Members have to be here for the beginning of a statement, not for the last minute of it. I call the shadow Secretary of State.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“Order. I appreciate that colleagues want to be forensic in their questioning, but shorter questions will be very much appreciated. I call Dr Andrew Murrison.”

“Order. The normal protocol is that a Member wishes to intervene, but I appreciate the encouragement—and the Minister has risen to it, so well done, Mr Timothy.”

“I call the Chair of the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee.”

“Order. Before the Secretary of State responds, the right hon. and learned Member for Fareham and Waterlooville (Suella Braverman) will know that when we plan to mention colleagues in the Chamber, we give them notice.”

“She is saying that she has done so. We obviously do not mention live cases either.”

“I thank the hon. Member for giving notice of his point of order. This is not a matter for the Chair, but those on the Treasury Bench will no doubt have heard exactly what he had to say and will, I hope, ensure that his comments are addressed and taken on board—”

“I am completely disappointed with myself for not wishing the hon. Member for Strangford (Jim Shannon) a happy birthday today. [Hon. Members: “Hear, hear!”] That is why his question was allowed to be a little bit longer than usual, but hopefully it will not be next time.”

“I can see the Secretary of State looking at me and nodding. Let’s take that as a positive.”
