  Order. Before Dr Sandher responds, I ask Members to try to keep this debate in scope.

  Order. It is not my job to write yours or the Minister’s speech—if only. That was not a point of order.

  Order. Just to be clear, good language is appropriate, and I am not sure “disingenuous” is the best language to use. I am sure the hon. Gentleman will find an alternative word. Is the hon. Member for Buckingham and Bletchley (Callum Anderson) finished wandering around the Chamber? Are you comfortable now? Fabulous.

  Mr Stuart, is it an actual point of order? I think the Minister was coming to a conclusion, so we are just preventing our business from progressing. Ministers, Front Benchers or Members not taking interventions is not necessarily a point of order. Do you want to proceed?

  On behalf of Mr Speaker, may I say that it is an absolute joy to see the wonderful Chelsea Pensioners in their glorious red uniforms observing proceedings? No doubt it will elevate the debate. I call Graham Stuart to do so.

  Order. We have just 90 minutes, and over 20 colleagues wish to contribute. The last speech was definitely not short. Hopefully, the Liberal Democrat spokesperson can show us how it is done.

• 28 Oct 2025 · China Spying Case · Hansard source

  More

  I call John Slinger, who I believe has a very considerate three-minute speech.

  Order. If I have confirmed that it is not in scope for Third Reading, then it is not in scope. Conclude swiftly!

• 27 Oct 2025 · Victims and Courts Bill · Hansard source

  More

  I call the shadow Minister.

• 27 Oct 2025 · Victims and Courts Bill · Hansard source

  More

  Order. Mr Mullan, we have to make sure that your speech is in scope of this Bill. I assume that you are coming to a sharp conclusion.

• 23 Oct 2025 · Decarbonisation of Cement · Hansard source

  More

  I call the Minister. I see he is very ably supported by Edmund Ward, whom I recall from my career history.

• 23 Oct 2025 · Business of the House · Hansard source

  More

  Order. That question was far too long.

• 23 Oct 2025 · Business of the House · Hansard source

  More

  Order. Shorter questions, please. I call Torcuil Crichton.

• 23 Oct 2025 · Business of the House · Hansard source

  More

  Order. Before the Leader of the House responds, we only have 30 minutes to go, so questions must be short and answers even shorter.

  More

  Order. We do not read out the names of Members; their constituencies will suffice.

• 23 Oct 2025 · Black History Month · Hansard source

  I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.

  More

  That may be outside of the scope of this debate. Minister, you may wish to respond.

  If the House will indulge me, when listening to the Minister I was thinking about my own parents’ stories, especially that of my mother, who would carry me into this country. Who would have thought that I would make history by sitting here in the Speaker’s Chair? But my mother’s story is far more relevant, and her name is Farzand Begum. I call the shadow Minister, and my constituency neighbour, Mims Davies.
