Caroline Nokes MP: speeches

Speeches

• 8 Jan 2025 · Business without Debate · Hansard source

  More

  I thank the hon. Member for giving notice of her point of order. I am sure she will have notified the hon. Member for Clacton (Nigel Farage) that she intended to raise the matter with us. As she will know, the Chair is not responsible for the content of contributions made either in debates or from a sedentary position, but she has put her view on the record, and she will know that that was not a point of order for the Chair.

• 8 Jan 2025 · Trial of Lucy Letby · Hansard source

  More

  Before I call the Whip to move the motion for the Adjournment, I remind the House that although there are currently no live proceedings before the courts, there is still the potential for further civil or criminal proceedings. Members will therefore wish to take care to avoid saying anything that could prejudice any case that might come before the courts in future. Motion made, and Que stion proposed , That this House do now adjourn.— (Christian Wakeford.)

• 8 Jan 2025 · Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill · Hansard source

  More

  Order. I am going to allow the shadow Minister to finish, but I will hear him. He is perfectly within his rights if he chooses not to give way.

• 8 Jan 2025 · Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill · Hansard source

  More

  Order. The shadow Minister will know that I did not flush away any child’s life chances. Perhaps he is bringing his remarks to a conclusion.

• 8 Jan 2025 · Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill · Hansard source

  More

  Order. Interventions really do have to be brief. A lot of Members still wish to get in, and we are on a very tight time limit. The hon. Lady has already earned an additional minute of injury time, and I regret that I will not get all Members in if we continue to have long interventions.

• 7 Jan 2025 · Road Safety · Hansard source

  More

  Order. The hon. Lady might not have been here to hear my earlier comment. There is plenty of time for Members to make speeches if they so choose—this debate does not need to conclude until 7.30 pm—but we really must not have prepared speeches read out disguised as interventions.

• 7 Jan 2025 · Road Safety · Hansard source

  More

  Order. I am just going to make the point to Members that interventions are getting very long. We have some hours to conclude this debate, so if Members wish to make a full contribution, they will be able to do so, rather than simply making an intervention.

• 6 Jan 2025 · Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse · Hansard source

  Order. I am planning to run the statement only until 7 pm, so it might be helpful if we had very short questions and perhaps shorter answers from the Home Secretary.

• 6 Jan 2025 · Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse · Hansard source

  More

  I thank the Home Secretary for her statement. Apologies to hon. Members who did not get in, but we have two further items of business.

• 6 Jan 2025 · Frozen Russian Assets: Ukraine · Hansard source

  More

  Order. Interventions have been far too long. I pointed out at the beginning that only 90 minutes will be allowed for the debate. Perhaps the Member in charge will consider concluding his remarks shortly.

• 6 Jan 2025 · Frozen Russian Assets: Ukraine · Hansard source

  It is the intention to run each of the Backbench Business debates for just an hour and a half, given the time we are left with.

• 19 Dec 2024 · Christmas Adjournment · Hansard source

  More

  I get the opportunity to have the last word. Many Members have mentioned family, and I want to take this opportunity to say merry Christmas to our parliamentary family, making sure we remember our Doorkeepers, the Sergeant at Arms, the Clerks, who keep me in order, and the catering and security people. Godfrey and Margaret got a mention, but I would also like to say—although I may not have been there today—a thank you to Kelly and Jackie in the hairdressers downstairs. Question put and agreed to. Resolved, That this House has considered matters to be raised before the forthcoming adjournment.

  With this it will be convenient to consider clause 2 stand part. I remind Members that in Committee they should not address the Chair as Madam Deputy Speaker. Please use our names when addressing the Chair. “Madam Chair”, “Chair” and “Madam Chairman” are also acceptable.
