  I allowed the question on the basis that it was about funding that follows housing growth, so I think it was fair. I call the shadow Minister.

  More

  Order. I am sorry, but the original question was about Palestine. What the hon. Member is saying is not relevant to that question. Let us move on.

• 3 Sept 2026 · Business of the House · Hansard source

  More

  The reshuffles have left in place the old guard—the old team—so let us start off with the shadow Leader of the House, Jesse Norman.

  Order. I am struggling because we only get a short time for these questions. I think we should have an hour, and I hope somebody will reflect on that.

• 3 Sept 2026 · Community Cohesion · Hansard source

  More

  Order. I think I am being instructed on who sits where. Mr Perkins, when you came through the door, you walked directly into my line of sight to Perran Moon. It blocks my vision when you walk in front of another Member. I do not like being challenged on something when I am absolutely correct.

  There is something going wrong with the House. Can we please get back to remembering our courtesies to other Members when they are asking questions?

  Try!

• 3 Sept 2026 · Speaker’s Statement · Hansard source

  More

  Before we start questions, I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to the legendary Sir Billy Boston. He was a pioneer in the rugby world, switching codes from union to league, a record try scorer for Wigan, and the second highest all-time scorer of tries. He was a world cup winner for his country and the first ever rugby league player to receive a knighthood. He was known for the BBC documentary “The Rugby Codebreakers”. Because he was black he could not play for Wales or for Cardiff. He was an exile who had to come north. May that never happen again. I wish Billy peace in death.

  Order. May I remind Members that they are meant to stand up when asking a question? We are back to school; this is the first day of term. Let’s get some memory power!
