21 Apr 2026 · Road Surfaces (Maximum Noise Levels) · Hansard source

Order. Hon. Members have turned up in their droves to listen to the hon. Lady’s ten-minute rule Bill; they might have the courtesy to listen quietly while we are hearing about road noise on the A180.

I thank the right hon. Member for his point of order, and for providing notice of it. Although Ministers are responsible for the accuracy of their remarks at the Dispatch Box, I am very clear as Chair that this is of the utmost importance and that Ministers must take their responsibilities to this House seriously. If the right hon. Member requires further advice on what may or may not constitute this House being inadvertently misled, I suggest that he follow up on the specific concerns with the Clerk of the Journals in the first instance.

I thank the hon. Member for his point of order, and for giving me some notice of it. He will have heard my earlier response. The Chair is not responsible for ministerial answers, but Ministers should take their responsibilities seriously to make sure that answers are correct. I note that representatives of the Treasury Bench are still sat there. I am sure the message will be passed back to the Chancellor, but he will have heard her response to the hon. Member for Lagan Valley (Sorcha Eastwood). I do not intend to continue this debate via the Chair.

The hon. Lady will have heard my earlier responses. She has most certainly put the matter firmly on the record. As I have said, the Chair is not responsible for ministerial answers, but I am sure that those on the Treasury Bench have heard her and other points of order loud and clear this afternoon.

Before I call the Leader of the House to move the motion, I point out that live British Sign Language interpretation of the debate is available to watch on parliamentlive.tv.
16 Apr 2026 · Modernisation Committee Report: Access to the House of Commons · Hansard source
More
Order. I gently point out to the shadow Leader of the House, and to anybody else planning on contributing, that this is not a debate on restoration and renewal. Although reference to it is of course acceptable, perhaps the substance of Members comments’ should not focus on that.
16 Apr 2026 · Women’s Health Strategy · Hansard source

I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.

Order. The hon. Lady has been here long enough to know that questions cannot be that long.
16 Apr 2026 · British Industrial Competitiveness Scheme · Hansard source

I call the shadow Minister.
16 Apr 2026 · British Industrial Competitiveness Scheme · Hansard source

Order.
15 Apr 2026 · Regulation of the Marmalade Market · Hansard source
More
Order. I made the point earlier in the debate. We have had a scattering of “yous” from Ministers, Front Benchers and Back Benchers. Hon. Members have been in this place for long enough to know that they must not do it and it will not be tolerated by the Chair.
15 Apr 2026 · Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill · Hansard source
More
I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.
15 Apr 2026 · Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill · Hansard source
More
Order. Mr Speaker and all the Deputy Speakers have made it clear that not only Back Benchers but Ministers perhaps need to raise their game when they are thinking about the courtesies of this Chamber.
15 Apr 2026 · Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill · Hansard source

I call the shadow Secretary of State.
15 Apr 2026 · Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill · Hansard source

I think the hon. Gentleman knows that he is trying his luck. However, it is worth reminding Members—everyone has been here for the best part of two years at a bare minimum—that the guidance is very clear that, if they wish to contribute to a debate, they are under an obligation, not a gentle request, to turn up in the Chamber for the start of the debate. I am not convinced that the hon. Gentleman was present, so I call the Minister.
14 Apr 2026 · Crime and Policing Bill (Ways and Means) · Hansard source
More
I thank the hon. Member for his point of order, and indeed for giving notice of it. The Government’s programme motion, which the House is about to consider, will establish the time available for today’s debate and the order in which the Lords amendments are to be considered. If Members are not content with the way the Bill has been programmed, it would be for them to express that—for example, by disagreeing to the programme motion. If the programme motion is agreed to by this House, as Chair all I can advise him is that, under the terms of Standing Order No. 83F, a vote on his motion seeking to disagree with Lords amendment 312 would be possible only if it is reached before 7 pm.

I encourage Members to ask short questions. We have important business on crime and policing to follow, which I am sure Members will want to get through.

I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.
