Mark Hendrick MP: speeches

Speeches

• 3 Dec 2024 · Home-to-School Transport: Children with SEND · Hansard source

  More

  May I just say that the Member who is speaking is not obliged to take interventions? It does take time away from those who have put in to speak.

• 27 Nov 2024 · World AIDS Day · Hansard source

  More

  Order. I ask Members to please try to keep to two minutes if they can.

• 27 Nov 2024 · World AIDS Day · Hansard source

  More

  Order. In the 20 seconds we have left, I leave it to Mr Beales to say a few words.

• 27 Nov 2024 · World AIDS Day · Hansard source

  More

  Order. May I remind Members that they should bob if they wish to be called in the debate? I also noticed that one or two Members arrived after the first speech had already begun, so they will not be allowed to speak. I think that those who want to speak will end up with about two minutes each, so I would be grateful if Members did not go on beyond two minutes and if they could desist from interventions, otherwise not everyone who wants to will be able to speak.

• 27 Nov 2024 · World AIDS Day · Hansard source

  More

  I thank hon. Members for their brief contributions and for giving time for the Front Bench speakers.

• 27 Nov 2024 · Rail Connectivity: Oxfordshire · Hansard source

  More

  I will call Charlie Maynard to move the motion and then call the Minister to respond. As is the convention for 30-minute debates, there will not be an opportunity for the Member in charge to wind up. Interventions, however, are permitted. I call Charlie Maynard.

• 27 Nov 2024 · Violence against Women and Girls · Hansard source

  More

  Before we continue, I would appreciate it if people would desist from interventions, because they take a lot of time away from people whose names are down to speak.

• 27 Nov 2024 · Violence against Women and Girls · Hansard source

  More

  Order. I remind Members that they should bob if they wish to be called in this debate. Everybody can see that we have a large number of people here. We have less than an hour now, given that the mover of the motion has already spoken, and the Government and Opposition spokespeople get 10 minutes each. You do not need to be a maths expert to work out that you are going to get less than two minutes each. Please have cognisance of the fact that any time you go over that, you will be taking time off somebody else. We will be extremely lucky if everybody who has indicated that they wish to speak gets to do so. I call Jim Shannon.

• 27 Nov 2024 · Violence against Women and Girls · Hansard source

  More

  It would be great if everybody could follow Mr Shannon’s example. I call Steve Witherden.

• 27 Nov 2024 · Violence against Women and Girls · Hansard source

  More

  I commend Members on keeping their speeches brief. We now move on to the Front-Bench contributions.

• 31 Oct 2024 · SEND Provision: Hampshire · Hansard source

  More

  I remind Members that they should bob if they wish to be called in this debate.

• 31 Oct 2024 · SEND Provision: Hampshire · Hansard source

  More

  Order. The debate pertains to Hampshire. Although you raise issues that are common, the subject is aimed in the direction of Hampshire. Can you please make the main points and try not to veer off the subject in terms of specifics in your own part of the UK?

• 22 Oct 2024 · Whistleblowing Protections · Hansard source

  More

  I remind Members that interventions are supposed to be brief.

• 22 Oct 2024 · Whistleblowing Protections · Hansard source

  More

  I remind Members to bob if they wish to be called.

• 22 Oct 2024 · Large-scale Energy Projects and Food Security · Hansard source

  More

  Order. We are going to go very close to the time limit in this debate. I ask Members who want to speak to resist intervening. Members will only get three minutes each, in order to accommodate the wind-up speeches from the Front1 Benches.

• 22 Oct 2024 · Large-scale Energy Projects and Food Security · Hansard source

  More

  I remind Members to bob or to stand if they wish to speak. We are going to be very short of time and I will cut to the Front Benchers when appropriate, even if some Members have not spoken, so if you speak for too long, you are taking time off others.

• 22 Oct 2024 · Large-scale Energy Projects and Food Security · Hansard source

  More

  Order. I call Ann Davies.

• 22 Oct 2024 · Pie and Mash: Traditional Speciality Guaranteed Status · Hansard source

  More

  I will call Mr Richard Holden to move the motion and I will then call the Minister to respond to the debate. There will not be an opportunity for the Member in charge to wind up, as is the convention normally for 30-minute debates. However, we have one or two other Members present who may wish to intervene. It is obviously down to Mr Holden to determine who may or may not intervene on him, if he has not been given prior notice.

• 22 Oct 2024 · Pie and Mash: Traditional Speciality Guaranteed Status · Hansard source

  More

  Order. You speak through the Chair.

• 8 Oct 2024 · SEND Provision: East of England · Hansard source

  More

  I am interrupting you. You do not refer to other Members by their name, but by their constituency or position. Actually, you have taken nearly four minutes now; this is taking time away from others. Could you bring your remarks to a close?

• 8 Oct 2024 · SEND Provision: East of England · Hansard source

  More

  Order. Because of the time taken by Members who have already spoken, we are now down to two minutes per remaining Member.

• 8 Oct 2024 · SEND Provision: East of England · Hansard source

  More

  I thank the hon. Gentleman for keeping his comments brief. I call the hon. Member for Southend West and Leigh (David Burton-Sampson).

• 8 Oct 2024 · SEND Provision: East of England · Hansard source

  More

  Order. I ask Members when intervening that they make it much shorter than the intervention we have just heard.

• 8 Oct 2024 · SEND Provision: East of England · Hansard source

  More

  Order. We are running short of time.

• 8 Oct 2024 · SEND Provision: East of England · Hansard source

  Before I call the next speaker, everybody can see the number of Members present, and quite a number have indicated that they wish to speak. We are fairly limited, as we have only half an hour for wind-ups at the end and the right of reply for Jess Asato. I ask Members to keep their comments to about two minutes, then everybody will get in. Where possible, I ask that you try to resist the urge to intervene too often because that takes time away from others and we have to finish on the dot at 4 o’clock. I remind Members that they should bob if they wish to be called.
