Speeches by Ghani.

“There is a five-minute time limit. I call the Chair of the Justice Committee.”

“Order. You said “your”—I was not the Minister. A short and sharp intervention, please.”

“Before I call the shadow Secretary of State, I inform the House that because many people wish to contribute, Back Benchers will have a time limit of five minutes to begin with.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“I call the Chair of the Select Committee.”

“I call the shadow Minister.”

“That might be a record. I thank the Leader of the House for being so fast in her responses—we got everybody in.”

“Order. We have 19 people standing and just 13 minutes, so I ask Members please to keep it short.”

“I call the Chair of the Women and Equalities Committee.”

“Questions must be short as we have only 25 minutes to go. I call Adam Jogee to show us how it is done.”

“I am grateful to the hon. Lady for giving notice of her point of order. I understand that she has notified the hon. Member for Rhondda and Ogmore that she intended to raise the matter in the Chamber. The Chair is not responsible for the accuracy of ministerial correspondence. However, the hon. Lady has put her point on…”

“That marks the end of the statement. I could not get all colleagues in because questions were so long, and answers were occasionally just as lengthy.”

“Final question.”

“I keep repeating myself: short questions please.”

“I ask the Minister to keep her responses short.”

“I call the Father of the House.”

“Order. If questions are not kept short, Members will prevent their colleagues from getting in.”

“Order. There is always a maximum of two minutes, and you have exceeded it. Please be seated.”

“The point of order is noted, but that is not a matter for the Chair. Time is limited, so we will go back to Joani Reid.”

“Before I call the shadow Foreign Secretary, I remind Members that they should refer to other Members by their constituency or by their title if they are a Minister, not by their first name.”
