Clive Betts MP: speeches

4 Jul 2026–16 Oct 2026 · year in progress

How these years work

Our reporting years run from 4 July to 3 July, starting with the 2024 general election. They are not official parliamentary sessions. Office costs keep IPSA’s April–March financial years. Records may cover only part of a year; a missing record does not mean no work was done.

    Order. Six Members have indicated that they want to speak, so that means they have about seven minutes each. I would normally advise Members to bob if they want to speak in the debate, but two Members have indicated that they have challenging circumstances, so I will exempt them from that requirement on this occasion.

    Each Front Bencher has 10 minutes, or a little longer depending on the timing.

    As no Back Benchers wish to speak, I will move straight to the Lib Dem spokesperson.

  • 9 Jul 2026 · Conflicts: Impact on Older People · Hansard source
    More

    We now move to the Front-Bench spokespeople. They are entitled to speak for at least 10 minutes each, but given that we are not particularly time-constrained, I will leave it with them to make a judgment on that.

    I call Jim Shannon, who has a couple of minutes to wind up.

    Order. The hon. Member should not take my views for granted in this sort of debate—he can speak for himself, I am sure.
