Speeches by Nokes.

“Order. I am sure the hon. Gentleman is getting to his point, but interventions really should be shorter. He could have put in to speak in the debate, had he wished. He has a few more moments—that is all.”

“Order. I think I will respond to the point of order first. The shadow Minister will know that that was not a point of order, but a point of debate.”

“Order. Mr Francois, you know that you must not refer to Members by their name.”

“I thank the hon. Gentleman for giving notice of his point of order. I assume he has notified the hon. Member to whom he is referring.”

“I call the Chair of the Education Committee.”

“The document called “Rules of behaviour and courtesies in the House of Commons” deals with this matter. When a Member visits another Member’s constituency, except on a purely private visit, they should take reasonable steps in advance to tell the Member in whose constituency the visit is taking place. That guidance als…”

“I thank the right hon. Member for giving prior notice of his point of order. The right of petitioners to be heard before a Committee on a private Bill is not a matter for the Chair. None the less, he has put his point on the record, and hon. Members who wish to object to the Bill will have an opportunity to do so when …”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“I call Mims Davies.”

“I call the Minister.”
