  It might be helpful if I begin by explaining how the Committee stage will proceed. A number of amendments have been tabled, published and selected for debate. The amendment paper and selection list are available in the Vote Office. However, because it is now after 2 pm, there is no time available for debate. Amendments that are not debated are not subsequently selected for separate decision.

  I thank the hon. Member for his point of order. He will know that it is long-standing practice that the Chair does not select for separate decision any proposition that has not been debated. It is therefore not possible for any of the amendments or new clauses to be called at this stage. The Chair put forthwith the Questions necessary for the disposal of the business to be concluded at that time (Order, this day). Clauses 1 to 10 ordered to stand part of the Bill. The Speaker resumed the Chair . Bill reported, without amendment . Question put forthwith (Order, this day), That the Bill be now read the Third time. Bill read the Third time and passed.

  I am grateful to the hon. Member for giving notice of his point of order. The subjects for debate today, including the titles of the debates, were determined by the Backbench Business Committee. The debate titles are not a matter for the Chair; the hon. Member has the opportunity to take that up with the Chair of the Committee, the hon. Member for Harrow East (Bob Blackman), who I suspect might be about to speak.

  I am grateful to the hon. Member for giving notice of her point of order. Can she confirm that she has notified the right hon. Member for Kingston and Surbiton (Ed Davey) of her intention to raise this matter in the House?

  While Members should certainly inform colleagues when they intend to table a question about a matter relating to a colleague’s constituency, the same rule does not apply to supplementary questions at PMQs. The leader of the Liberal Democrats was making a broader point about the ownership of Thames Water. None the less, the hon. Member has put the matter on the record, including her own campaigning on sewage dumping at Whitburn.

• 7 Apr 2025 · Points of Order · Hansard source

  Order. The hon. Member should not be criticising other Members for their social media posts in that way. I thank him for giving notice of his point of order, which may have gone slightly further than the notice he gave, but he has eloquently put his concerns on record.
