  Order. The last time I was in the Chair for a statement on this issue, we ran out of time. It would be really helpful if colleagues ensured that their questions are short.

• 20 Jan 2026 · Mobile Phones and Social Media: Use by Children · Hansard source

  More

  This is the final question.

• 20 Jan 2026 · Mobile Phones and Social Media: Use by Children · Hansard source

  More

  Order. Just to help Members, I will be calling this statement to an end at 2 o’clock, because we have a lot of business afterwards.

  Order. When the hon. Lady makes a point of order, she should address it to the Chair, not to the Secretary of State. The issue she has raised is not a point of order and it is not a matter for the Chair. I am sure she can follow it up with the Secretary of State outside the Chamber or in writing.

• 20 Jan 2026 · Chinese Embassy · Hansard source

  More

  Order. I am simply not going to have this. There is too much chuntering, and indeed yelling, across the Chamber from a sedentary position. The Minister might like to focus on responding to the question that was asked by the Lib Dem spokesperson, not to heckling from the rest of the Chamber.

  Order. When questions run to two pages and take a minute, perhaps Members might think about cutting them down slightly.

• 20 Jan 2026 · Chinese Embassy · Hansard source

  More

  Order. I am hopeful that we can find consensus that questions and answers need to be shorter. I intend to keep the Minister here until all Members have been satisfied this afternoon, but we do need to speed up.

  More

  Order. Before I call the Minister, I gently remind shadow Ministers and spokesmen that there is a time limit, which the right hon. Gentleman exceeded somewhat.

  More

  I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.

• 20 Jan 2026 · Chinese Embassy · Hansard source

  More

  I respectfully say to the Minister that that was an incredibly long answer—indeed, longer even than the question. Perhaps questions and responses need to be briefer.

• 20 Jan 2026 · Chinese Embassy · Hansard source

  More

  I call the vice-chair of the ISC.

• 20 Jan 2026 · Point of Order · Hansard source

  More

  I thank the right hon. Gentleman for advance notice of his point of order. He will know that, as Chair, I am not responsible for the answers that Ministers give to written parliamentary questions, although he might also know that the Procedure Committee is currently holding an inquiry into this very issue. I encourage him to provide evidence and to raise his concerns with that Committee.

• 20 Jan 2026 · Sentencing Bill · Hansard source

  I inform the House that nothing in the Lords amendments engages Commons financial privilege. After Clause 19 Court transcripts of sentencing remarks

  Can the Minister perhaps restrict himself to the amendments?

• 20 Jan 2026 · Sentencing Bill · Hansard source

  With this it will be convenient to discuss: Government amendments (a) and (b) in lieu of Lords amendment 7. Lords amendments 1 to 6 and 8 to 15.
