Speeches by Nokes.

“I thank the hon. Gentleman for not using all his time. I call Tom Gordon to make his maiden speech.”

“Order. Before I call the Minister, I must respectfully point out that a huge number of Members wish to speak, and that interventions from Members will only eat up the time available to colleagues and, in some instances, themselves. I call the Minister, Karin Smyth, to move the amendment.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“I call Claire Hazelgrove to make her maiden speech.”

“The final question is from Olivia Blake.”

“The reasoned amendment in the name of Sir Oliver Dowden has been selected.”

“I call Steve Yemm to make his maiden speech.”

“I call Danny Beales to make his maiden speech.”

“There are a number of Members in the Chamber this evening. I know that some have secured agreement from the hon.
