Nusrat Ghani MP: speeches

4 Jul 2025–3 Jul 2026

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. Much shorter questions, please.

    I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.

    Dr Luke Evans, you need to stop using points of order to continue debates. No doubt Mr Hayes is going to get right to the point and then conclude very quickly.

    Order. Mr Francois, the speech has finished. We now come to the Minister for the wind-up.

    Time is tight, and interventions should be taken with caution. I call Sir John Hayes.

    The Deputy Speaker who was in the Chair before me read out the statement, and I will do so again for clarity. Having given careful consideration to Lords amendments 2 and 3, Mr Speaker is satisfied that they would impose a charge on the public revenue that has not yet been authorised by this House. In accordance with paragraph (3) of Standing Order No. 78, the amendments will therefore be deemed to be disagreed to and are not subject to debate. We cannot keep having the same discussion again and again. This is a very substantial debate and many people hope to speak, so let us proceed as fast as we can.

    I thank— [ Interruption. ] Order. I can make a decision; I do not need any help. That was not exactly a point of order, Minister. It was much more of an intervention, which may have been taken by the Member who was about to rise to her feet. However, the Minister has got his point on the record. We need to move at a pace; otherwise, we will not get speakers in.

    For the final Back-Bench contribution, I call Andrew Rosindell.

    That is not a point of order. Can we prevent the debate from continuing in points of order? If colleagues wish to intervene, they can try to do so, and it is up to the Minister whether he wishes to respond to those interventions. We can keep going until 7.18 pm when the time will cut off.

    Order. There appear to be many side conversations taking place. If Members wish to leave the Chamber, they can do so. Otherwise, we should focus on what the Minister is saying.

    Order. Mr Hoare, I am worried that the longer you speak, the longer you will disappoint other colleagues who are hoping to contribute later in the debate, and I would not want to ruin your reputation on that front. This feels like a continuation of the debate. The Minister may or may not wish to respond to that point during his closing speech, but my job is to make sure that as many Members as possible who have sat through this debate get to put their voice on the record. I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.

    Please keep your speech short.

    The advice I am getting from the Clerk is that that is incorrect because the amendments were disagreed to in the Lords, so we must continue with the debate in hand, as on the Order Paper.

    The time limit on speeches is now four minutes.

    Order. Back-Bench Members are on a five-minute speaking limit. That will drop further as the debate continues.

    Before I call the shadow Foreign Secretary, for the benefit of the House, and to provide a fuller response to the point of order raised by the right hon. Member for South Holland and The Deepings (Sir John Hayes), it is Lords amendments 2 and 3, which relate to the referendum, that will be disagreed to under Standing Order No. 78(3). The expenditure necessary for a referendum has not been authorised by this House. Lords amendments 5 and 6 are within the scope of the debate. Although amendment 6 engages the financial privilege of this House, it does not in itself involve any expenditure. I hope that helps colleagues.

    As the House was informed earlier, Mr Speaker is satisfied that Lords amendments 2 and 3 would impose a charge on public revenue that has not been authorised by a money resolution in this House. In accordance with paragraph (3) of Standing Order No. 78, Lords amendments 2 and 3 are therefore deemed to be disagreed to. After Clause 5 Cost of the Treaty Motion made, and Question put, That this House disagrees with Lords amendment 5. —(Stephen Doughty.)

    Order. Would the hon. Gentleman like to continue?

  • 20 Jan 2026 · Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill · Hansard source

    Order. Mr Hayes, this debate is about the issue in hand, not the credibility of the Opposition. Let us get to the point quickly.

  • 20 Jan 2026 · Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill · Hansard source
    More

    I hope this is an actual point of order.

  • 20 Jan 2026 · 5G Connectivity: Telford and West Midlands · Hansard source
    More

    Fantastic; that is now on the record. I shall just remind the Minister that he is also more than welcome to come to my constituency of Sussex Weald to deal with any 5G connectivity questions. Question put and agreed to .

  • 19 Jan 2026 · Proposed Chinese Embassy · Hansard source
    More

    I thank the hon. Lady for advance notice of that point of order. As she will know, the Chair is not responsible for the content of Ministers’ answers—if only we were—but she has most definitely put her point on the record, and the Minister might wish to respond now.

  • 19 Jan 2026 · Proposed Chinese Embassy · Hansard source
    More

    The Minister has declined to respond now. No doubt those on the Treasury Bench will feed that point back to the Ministers responsible.

  • 19 Jan 2026 · Arctic Security · Hansard source
    More

    I call the leader of the Liberal Democrats.
