Caroline Nokes MP: speeches

Speeches

• 2 Feb 2026 · High Speed Rail (Crewe - Manchester) Bill · Hansard source

  More

  I call the shadow Minister.

• 2 Feb 2026 · Tolled Crossings and Regional Connectivity · Hansard source

  More

  Order. Interventions must be brief, but as it is so long before 10 pm, Members could make a speech if they so wish.

• 2 Feb 2026 · Tolled Crossings and Regional Connectivity · Hansard source

  More

  I call Ben Maguire.

• 29 Jan 2026 · Holocaust Memorial Day · Hansard source

  More

  The hon. Lady will be aware that that is not a matter for the Chair. At any point, she would have been able to seek to intervene on the right hon. Member for Wetherby and Easingwold (Sir Alec Shelbrooke).

• 28 Jan 2026 · British Indian Ocean Territory · Hansard source

  More

  I thank the hon. Member for his point of order and for having given notice of it. Mr Speaker has received no notice from Ministers that they intend to make a statement on this matter. Ministers on the Front Bench will, however, have heard the hon. Member’s point of order.

• 28 Jan 2026 · British Indian Ocean Territory · Hansard source

  More

  I thank the right hon. Member for that point of order, which he will know full well is not a point of order.

• 28 Jan 2026 · British Indian Ocean Territory · Hansard source

  More

  The hon. Member will know that it is entirely at the Minister’s discretion, as it would be for any other speaker, if he chooses to give way or not. It is not a matter for the Chair. I am sure the Minister has heard his comments.

• 28 Jan 2026 · British Indian Ocean Territory · Hansard source

  More

  That brings us to the Front Benchers. I call shadow Secretary of State James Cartlidge.

• 28 Jan 2026 · Education Funding: Distribution · Hansard source

  More

  Order. We must not refer to right hon. and hon. Members by name. Although the hon. Member for Birkenhead (Alison McGovern) was the Minister in post, we would still not refer to her by name.

• 28 Jan 2026 · Youth Unemployment · Hansard source

  More

  I inform the House that Mr Speaker has selected the amendment tabled in the name of the Prime Minister.

• 28 Jan 2026 · Youth Unemployment · Hansard source

  More

  I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.

• 27 Jan 2026 · Medical Training (Prioritisation) Bill · Hansard source

  More

  I call the shadow Minister.

• 27 Jan 2026 · Business Rates · Hansard source

  More

  Order. I say very gently to the Minister that it was always open to him to ask for extra time, but we cannot find any record of him having done so. He has already got to 10 minutes, and he seems to have three more pages, so I will allow the Opposition spokespersons more time as well. This is an important statement, and I think that the hon. Member wants to finish, but it is very unfair to exceed the time by what I reckon will be 50%.

• 27 Jan 2026 · Commonhold and Leasehold Reform · Hansard source

  More

  Order. It would be helpful if Members asked very short questions so that I can get them all in.

• 26 Jan 2026 · Armed Forces Bill · Hansard source

  More

  Order. I have heard two uses of the word “you”. It is not about me.

• 26 Jan 2026 · Armed Forces Bill · Hansard source

  More

  Before I call the Chair of the Defence Committee, Members might like to be aware that there are a lot of colleagues wishing to speak this evening. I am not planning to put a time limit on—yet.

• 26 Jan 2026 · Armed Forces Bill · Hansard source

  More

  Order. The hon. Gentleman should not be directing his comments at me.

• 26 Jan 2026 · Armed Forces Bill · Hansard source

  More

  Order. I intend to introduce a five-minute time limit after the next speaker.

• 26 Jan 2026 · Armed Forces Bill · Hansard source

  More

  Order. May I remind Members to be careful, good-tempered and moderate in their language in debate? If anyone needs any instruction, pages 496 and 497 of “Erskine May” are very helpful. I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.

• 26 Jan 2026 · NHS Urgent Care: Staffordshire · Hansard source

  More

  He!

• 22 Jan 2026 · Agricultural Sector: Import Standards · Hansard source

  More

  I call Ann Davies.

• 22 Jan 2026 · Fishing Industry · Hansard source

  More

  I call the shadow Minister.

• 22 Jan 2026 · Fishing Industry · Hansard source

  More

  Order. The hon. Lady will know that the debate is on the fishing industry, not on sewage pollution of rivers per se. Perhaps she would like to return to the subject of fishing.

• 22 Jan 2026 · Fishing Industry · Hansard source

  More

  Order. I will not make this point again. This is a debate on the fishing industry. The hon. Lady has made her point about pollution.

• 22 Jan 2026 · Fishing Industry · Hansard source

  More

  Before the Front-Bench speeches begin, may I extend a warm welcome to the Minister of Education in Ontario, who has been in the Chamber listening to hon. Members’ contributions? I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.
