Order. We are running over and need to get other speakers in.
3 Dec 2024 · Freight Crime · Hansard source

I notice a little army of Labour Back Benchers in the Chamber. If they wish to speak, they should have sought the permission of the Member in charge.
3 Dec 2024 · Family Farming in Devon · Hansard source
More
Order. I understand that there is a Division in the House, so the sitting is suspended for 15 minutes. We will add that time on at the end—do not worry.

I call Sir Geoffrey Cox to wind up.

Order. As everybody has returned, we can restart a little bit earlier than we had planned. I call Sir Geoffrey Cox.

More
Order. The time is up. I remind the hon. Member, who is new, that if he is not here at the start in future, he will not be called to speak. We now move to contributions from the Front Bench.

Order. I remind the right hon. and learned Member that there are others who may wish to speak and, unless he winds up his remarks fairly soon, they are not going to have much time.
3 Dec 2024 · Family Farming in Devon · Hansard source
More
Order. Motion lapsed (Standing Order No. 10(6)).
3 Dec 2024 · Family Farming in Devon · Hansard source

I indicate that, because of the limitations of this debate, each Back Bencher should aim to speak for around five minutes, if possible.
3 Dec 2024 · Home-to-School Transport: Children with SEND · Hansard source
More
Order. I call Jo Platt.
3 Dec 2024 · Home-to-School Transport: Children with SEND · Hansard source
More
As I said earlier, you will get only a minute each. I encourage people not to intervene, as it will mean that we have to cut down on the total number of speakers. I call Shockat Adam.
3 Dec 2024 · Home-to-School Transport: Children with SEND · Hansard source
More
I remind hon. Members that if they wish to speak, they need to bob during the debate. This is only a one-hour debate and hon. Members can see how many people are present; you do not need to be experts in maths to know that that there are lots. Except for the Front-Bench speakers, I will allow only one minute for the speech of each Member present. When those minutes have been exhausted such that there is sufficient time for only the Front Benchers to speak, obviously any speakers who have not been called will not be called. Members may be tempted to intervene, which will take time away from other speakers, so I ask that you resist the urge to intervene unless you absolutely must.

I thank everybody for their indulgence in keeping their speeches short. We have had 33 speakers in this debate, which I think is the most that anybody has ever crammed into an hour; I hope that Guinness World Records is paying attention. Question put and agreed to. Resolved , That this House has considered the statutory framework for home-to-school transport for children with SEND.
3 Dec 2024 · Home-to-School Transport: Children with SEND · Hansard source

I thank all Back Benchers for being very good with their timekeeping. We now move to the Front-Bench speakers.
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.

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.

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

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

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