  Order.

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

  More

  Order. The winding-up speeches will have to start at 5.30 pm. There are 37 Members standing on both sides of the House. I am not allowed to impose a time limit, but were I to do so, it would be about four minutes. It is for Members to decide whether to allow their colleagues to speak or to take up more of the time, in which case it is quite clear that not everybody will be called to speak. I call John McDonnell.

• 8 Jul 2025 · Football Governance Bill [Lords] · Hansard source

  Order. Having lowered the temperature, I trust that I can now rely on the shadow Minister to maintain the lowered temperature. If not, I might have to intervene.

  Order. First, I am not. Secondly, the Secretary of State came very close to unparliamentary language in accusing another hon. Member of hypocrisy; I am sure she did not intend that.

• 3 Jul 2025 · NHS 10-Year Plan · Hansard source

  More

  I call the Chair of the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee.

• 3 Jul 2025 · NHS 10-Year Plan · Hansard source

  I call the Chair of the Health and Social Care Committee.

• 3 Jul 2025 · NHS 10-Year Plan · Hansard source

  I am sure that the hon. Member for Harlow will wish to correct the record.

• 3 Jul 2025 · NHS 10-Year Plan · Hansard source

  More

  May I thank the Secretary of State for answering in excess of 65 questions, and the shadow Secretary of State for being in attendance throughout the entire proceedings?

• 3 Jul 2025 · NHS 10-Year Plan · Hansard source

  Order. Some 60 Members wish to participate. Clearly, the statement will likely impact every constituency in the country, so I understand why so many hon. Members wish to question the Secretary of State. It is our intention to try to call everybody, but there is important business later that has to be reached. May I urge brevity on all Members, and short answers on the Secretary of State? Health Committee member Jen Craft will now set an example.

• 3 Jul 2025 · NHS 10-Year Plan · Hansard source

  Finally, and with thanks for his patience, I call Richard Baker.

• 3 Jul 2025 · NHS 10-Year Plan · Hansard source

  Order. Some 20 Members are still seeking to ask questions, and we have an important debate to follow. The questions are getting longer, and so, I fear, Minister, are the answers. Can I urge brevity again, please?

  I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.

• 3 Jul 2025 · NHS 10-Year Plan · Hansard source

  I call Select Committee member Josh Fenton-Glynn.

• 3 Jul 2025 · NHS 10-Year Plan · Hansard source

  I call Warinder Juss—not here.

• 3 Jul 2025 · British Film and High-end Television · Hansard source

  We now come to the Select Committee statement on behalf of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee. Dame Caroline Dinenage will speak for up to 10 minutes, during which time no interventions may be taken. At the conclusion of her statement, I shall call Members to ask questions on the subject of the statement. These should be brief questions, not full speeches. I emphasise that questions should be directed to the Select Committee Chair, not the relevant Government Minister. However, Front Benchers may take part in questioning.

  More

  I thank the right hon. Gentleman for his point of order. I am afraid that his request is simply, in procedural terms, not possible. The Chair is not responsible for the forming of such motions. The motion will be put to the House as it is on the Order Paper.

  I thank the right hon. Lady for giving me notice of her point of order. She will understand that this is not a matter for the Chair, but she has put an important concern on the record. I trust that Members on the Treasury Bench will have taken notice of it.

• 2 Jul 2025 · Heathrow Substation Outage: NESO Review · Hansard source

  More

  I call the SNP spokesperson.

• 2 Jul 2025 · Heathrow Substation Outage: NESO Review · Hansard source

  Before I call the shadow Secretary of State, may I take this opportunity to welcome her back to her place in the House?

• 2 Jul 2025 · Heathrow Substation Outage: NESO Review · Hansard source

  I call the Liberal Democrat Front-Bench spokesman.

• 2 Jul 2025 · Heathrow Substation Outage: NESO Review · Hansard source

  I call the Chair of the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee.

• 2 Jul 2025 · Heathrow Substation Outage: NESO Review · Hansard source

  More

  I call the Chair of the Energy Security and Net Zero Committee.

• 2 Jul 2025 · British Indian Ocean Territory: Sovereignty · Hansard source

  More

  Order. That is not a point of order for the Chair, as the hon. Gentleman will appreciate, but if the Minister wishes to respond I will allow him to do so.

• 30 Jun 2025 · Road Safety Powers: Parish and Town Councils · Hansard source

  More

  Order. Before we proceed, I think I am right in saying that every Member present who is likely to want to intervene has done so; well done. I would not wish hon. Members to believe that ordinarily they are likely to get away with the length of interventions that they have got away with tonight. I understand that this is an important issue, and that there are constituency matters that need to be raised and placed on the record, but do not take the lenience of the Chair for granted. Members should bear in mind, as one hon. Lady has not, that if they intervene, they are expected to stay till the end of the debate to hear the Minister’s response.

  I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.
