Speeches by Nokes.

“I thank the hon. Member for that point of order. He will know that declarations of interest are not a matter for the Chair. However, he might be advised to refer that to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards for investigation.”

“I thank the right hon. Gentleman for that point of order. As he will know, the powers of the ISC are not a matter for the Chair. However, the Minister on the Front Bench will have heard his comments and will have every opportunity in winding up to respond to that specific point and to provide the entire House with the …”

“I thank the hon. Member for putting that on the record. If there are no more points of order, I call Wendy Morton.”

“Order. That is not a point of order; it is a point of debate. I do not think it is appropriate during points of order specifically on the Intelligence and Security Committee to raise that matter. It is not for the Chair to rule on comments by other Members during the course of the debate.”

“I did ask the Member to withdraw his comments. He now has the opportunity to do so.”

“Order. There are several other points of order. I am keen that we do not conduct the debate via points of order, so, if the right hon. Gentleman will allow me, I will take two further points of order and then respond to his point of order. Hopefully we might then have an answer.”

“I thank the hon. Gentleman for his point of order. He has very clearly brought into question the probity of the hon. Member for Great Yarmouth (Rupert Lowe). He might want to withdraw that. It is of course a matter for the hon. Member for Great Yarmouth to declare that, which he could now do by putting any interest on …”

“Will the Serjeant at Arms investigate the delay in the Aye Lobby?”

“I call the shadow Minister.”

“Order. I respectfully remind the hon. Gentleman not to use the word “you”. He was suggesting that he might like to have a fight with me, and that would not end well.”

“Order. Not “you”—I have not spoken in this debate!”

“Order. For the assistance of Back Benchers who still wish to speak, I am about to remove the time limit. [Interruption.]”

“Order. May I gently remind the hon. Lady that this is a very specific debate about the removal of the two-child limit and not a wider debate on tax policy?”

“Order. It is not me who is being referred to; it is the hon. Gentleman.”

“I call Ben Maguire.”

“Order. Interventions must be brief, but as it is so long before 10 pm, Members could make a speech if they so wish.”

“Division off. Question agreed to. Ordered, That the following provisions shall apply in respect of the High Speed Rail (Crewe - Manchester) Bill if proceedings on the Bill have not been completed before the end of this Session or any subsequent Session of this Parliament (each a “qualifying Session”). Suspension at end…”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“I call Grahame Morris.”

“With this it will be convenient to discuss the following motion on the Select Committee: That the following provisions shall apply in respect of the Select Committee to which the High Speed Rail (Crewe - Manchester) Bill stands committed by virtue of paragraph (10)(a) of the Order of 20 June 2022 (carry-over): 1.
