  Order. Minister, you are making a very passionate speech, but you said “you” and I do not think I was involved in fighting with you in any trenches at any point.

  I thank the right hon. Member for notice of his point of order. The Chair is not responsible for the content of Ministers’ speeches in the Chamber—if only we were. However, the Minister is in his place and will have heard what the right hon. Member has said. If an error has been made, I am sure that the Minister will seek to correct it as quickly as possible.

  Order. The Minister gave a very passionate speech, but when one mentions colleagues in the Chamber, one is meant to give prior notice. I assume that has happened.

• 3 Feb 2026 · Universal Credit (Removal of Two Child Limit) Bill · Hansard source

  More

  The reasoned amendment on the Order Paper has not been selected.

• 3 Feb 2026 · Universal Credit (Removal of Two Child Limit) Bill · Hansard source

  More

  Order. “You”, Mr Slinger—I have mentioned this to you so many times. Let us start again.

• 3 Feb 2026 · Universal Credit (Removal of Two Child Limit) Bill · Hansard source

  More

  Order. Before the Secretary of State responds, let me say that there are many colleagues in the Chamber and I can understand how passionate this debate is, but let us try to keep the noise down when colleagues are contributing.

• 3 Feb 2026 · Universal Credit (Removal of Two Child Limit) Bill · Hansard source

  I call the shadow Secretary of State.

• 3 Feb 2026 · Universal Credit (Removal of Two Child Limit) Bill · Hansard source

  Order. As so many Members wish to contribute, Back Benchers will be on a speaking limit, which will start at five and a half minutes. I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.

• 3 Feb 2026 · Universal Credit (Removal of Two Child Limit) Bill · Hansard source

  I call the Chair of the Work and Pensions Committee.

• 29 Jan 2026 · Women’s State Pension Age Communication: PHSO Report · Hansard source

  I call the shadow Minister.

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

  More

  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.

• 16 Dec 2025 · Finance (No. 2) Bill · Hansard source

  More

  I am grateful to the hon. Member for giving notice of his point of order on points of order. I can say that his point of order was most definitely not a point of order. For clarity, and for the benefit of the hon. Member, a point of order should in principle draw the Chair’s attention to a possible breach of the House’s rules of order, which his point of order failed to do. I would not like to speculate on how many points of order actually have served this purpose—I am sure many now will—but the hon. Member raises an interesting question. Hansard can point out how many points of orders have been raised that, like his, were obviously not points of order.

  We are saving the best until last. I call Josh Fenton-Glynn.

  Order. If questions are long, I will not be able to get everyone in, so I need colleagues to be respectful of other Members.

• 8 Dec 2025 · Child Poverty Strategy · Hansard source

  More

  As an experienced Member of Parliament, the hon. Member will know that she can seek advice from the Speaker’s Office and the Clerks. That is not a point of order, but she has most definitely got her point on the record.

• 8 Dec 2025 · Child Poverty Strategy · Hansard source

  I urge colleagues to be short, as we have just 15 minutes remaining.

• 2 Dec 2025 · Budget Resolutions · Hansard source

  Order. Before I come to the next motion, I have been informed that certain Members are taking photographs in the Lobby while we are in session. Members know that taking photographs is strictly prohibited. The Members names have been given to me. I expect them to come and apologise before the evening is out. If any of those photos is published, there will be severe repercussions. 51. Inheritance tax (pension interests) Question put, That (notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the practice of the House relating to the matters which may be included in Finance Bills) provision may be made taking effect in a future year about the charging of inheritance tax by reference to benefits payable under a pension scheme on the death of a member of the scheme.

• 3 Sept 2025 · Royal Assent · Hansard source

  More

• 9 Jul 2025 · Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill · Hansard source

  That is a point of debate, not a point of order. Continue, Minister.
