Speeches by Hoyle.

“I call the Chair of the Backbench Business Committee.”

“A WMS was out there, and I say to the Government that priority should always be given to the House. I am sure that will be noted. Far too many statements are made outside the House, but there was a WMS on this occasion. I will leave it at that because we have other things to get through.”

“Order. Mr Stuart, can you make a better effort than just waving your hand? You are not at a taxi rank. Is the shadow Secretary of State giving way to Mr Stuart? There you are, Mr Stuart: he is giving way to you. If you get off the seat, it might help.”

“Order. You have referred to “Rachel Reeves”, but she is the Chancellor of the Exchequer. I do not think that “Ed” is quite the right title either, and I know that you would not want to get that wrong.”

“Order. The Minister has been saying “you”, but I am not responsible for these things; I would not want that responsibility.”

“Order. Parliamentary Private Secretaries are not there to chirp all the way through and give solutions to a problem. I have great confidence in the Minister’s ability to answer when he comes to speak.”

“I inform the House that I have selected the amendment in the name of the Prime Minister. I call the shadow Secretary of State.”

“This is an important point: we need tolerance, and it is about respecting one another. You have put your point on the record, but I am not going to enter into a debate. I will leave it at that for the moment.”

“Sir John, you are just continuing a debate that I think I have already given the answers to. We will leave it at that.”

“I call the Chair of the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee.”

“I call the shadow Minister.”

“Order. May I just say that I am not responsible for the answers? I just have to say that.”

“I call the Leader of the Opposition.”

“Order. I repeat that I am not responsible for the answers, but this is certainly not Opposition questions.”

“I call the Father of the House.”

“There is a real weakness in that, because there is an assumption that the person knows the answer. I will leave it at that.”

“As a long-standing Member who came in with me in 1997, the right hon. Gentleman knows that that is not a point of order.”

“I call the shadow Minister.”

“I call the leader of the Liberal Democrats.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”
