Points of Order
1/1On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. May I ask that the record be corrected? I inadvertently mentioned Avanti West Coast. I must have been thinking of the derailment, and not the tragic incident, which of course was on LNER. [Official Report, 3 November 2025; Vol. 774, c. 640.]
I thank the hon. Member. The correction is now duly on the record.
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker.
Is it really a point of order?
You will tell me whether it is or not, Madam Deputy Speaker. In my constituency, a young man was killed in Portavogie today in a knife attack. I think it would be in order to mention that there and perhaps the House would join me in prayers—
Order. That is very important, but we cannot continue the statement, which has concluded.
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I think the Home Secretary may have misheard me during my question. I was saying that I was not concerned about the disproportionality of stop and search, because when we compare its use with the offending population, there is no disproportionality. I was encouraging further use of the tactic. I wanted to make sure the Home Secretary had heard and received that message.
The shadow Home Secretary has most definitely got that on the record.
