  I call Sir John Whittingdale, who, after hearing the answer, may wish to get into the private Members’ Bills queue.

  Order. I am going to let colleagues in on a secret: I cannot read their minds. If you are not continually bobbing, I do not know whether you are uninterested or want to be called.

• 17 Jun 2026 · National Security (State Threats) Bill · Hansard source

  Before the Home Secretary responds, I remind the House that many people wish to contribute and it is just a four-hour debate.

• 16 Jun 2026 · Isle of Wight Dementia Patients: Discharge to Mainland Care Homes · Hansard source

  I did not have time to congratulate the Minister, a fellow Brummie, on her promotion. It is good to see those from Birmingham here in the Chamber. Question put and agreed to.

• 15 Jun 2026 · Social Media Ban for Under-16s · Hansard source

  More

  Before we come to the statement, I must place on the record Mr Speaker’s disappointment that the Prime Minister chose Downing Street over this House as the place in which to make the important announcement about banning under-16s from social media. The Prime Minister’s very own rulebook states that important policy announcements should be made in the first instance in this House when it is sitting. His approach this morning is symptomatic of a pattern of disrespect for this House from No. 10. The Government have said that they will update the ministerial code on this point, and I urge them to get on with it. In the meantime, they must stick with the rules as they are set out. Mr Speaker wishes to thank the Secretary of State, who is a shining example of a Minister taking the code seriously on this matter and not briefing out her statement before she has come to the House. I call the Secretary of State.

• 15 Jun 2026 · Social Media Ban for Under-16s · Hansard source

  More

  Order. It is highly unlikely that everyone will be able to ask questions. Far too many Members are bobbing, and we have a large amount of business to get through. However, if both questions and answers took 30 seconds, we could get most Members in.

  More

  Order. There should not be clapping in the Chamber or the Gallery. No doubt the Doorkeepers will remove people if they need to.

• 15 Jun 2026 · Social Media Ban for Under-16s · Hansard source

• 15 Jun 2026 · Social Media Ban for Under-16s · Hansard source

  Order. I understand how important this debate is, but, fundamentally, Members may ask one question that lasts under 30 seconds.

• 15 Jun 2026 · Russian Shadow Fleet · Hansard source

  Try to keep it short, Minister.

  Order. Mr Tugendhat, you had the luxury of coming in early on this urgent question. Other colleagues would like to be heard as well. Minister, have you finished?

  I call the Chair of the Defence Committee.

• 10 Jun 2026 · Defence Investment Plan · Hansard source

  Order. The hon. Member, who is far more experienced than I am, should know that we do not hold up booklets or magazines as props when speaking in the Chamber.

• 10 Jun 2026 · Defence Investment Plan · Hansard source

  More

  I thank the hon. Member for giving notice of his point of order. The Speaker made it abundantly clear at the start of the statement just how important it is that the defence investment plan is presented first to Parliament, and that Members of this House have the opportunity to ask questions about it as soon as the plan is published. As the Speaker said, I hope that speculation that the plan will be published on a non-sitting day is proven wrong. The House comes first. Of course, the Government could table a motion to enable the House to sit on a non-sitting Friday, if those were the circumstances. If the hon. Member wishes to have further advice on parliamentary procedure, he can get that from the Clerks in the Table Office. Mr Speaker made his views abundantly clear. Does the Minister wish to respond?
