Speeches by Nokes.

“Before I call the next speaker, I just want to make it clear that after the hon. Member for Oldham East and Saddleworth (Debbie Abrahams), I will call the Liberal Democrat spokesman, the hon. Member for Torbay (Steve Darling).”

Member for Aldridge-Brownhills (Wendy Morton), she could take advice from the Table O…”

“I thank the right hon. Member for her point of order and for advance notice of it. It is, of course, disappointing to hear of these delays, which will have been noted by those on the Government Front Bench. If she requires further advice, I am sure that the Table Office will be happy to provide it.”

“Order. The hon. Lady will recognise that she was on a time limit, and in order to accommodate all the other Members who wish to speak, I am going to reduce it to five minutes. I call Matt Vickers.”

“Before I call Joy Morrissey, I think it appropriate to wish her a happy birthday.”

“Order. I know I am being difficult on time limits, but the Liberal Democrat spokes- person should have one minute in an urgent question, which the hon. Gentleman has already far exceeded. Perhaps he will come up with a question in one sentence for the Minister.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“Order. The sitting is suspended.”

“I call the Chair of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“Order. The shadow Minister is trying my patience. We have a lot of business to get through today, and time limits are there for a reason. I call the Minister.”
