Speeches by Hoyle.

“I call the Father of the House.”

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

“Order. One of us is going to sit down, and it certainly is not going to be me. The hon. Lady has already taken three minutes. She should not start speaking faster and more loudly just to try and stop me. She must come to an end now, and do so very quickly.”

“Order.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“Order. Just to say, those others are not MPs, by the way.”

“Order. Please, I do not need further comments. I am sure Members are trying to catch my eye, but that is not the best way to do it.”

“That completes the urgent question, but let me say to all those in the Chamber that I think this is a very important issue. I do not think there is a constituency that is not affected by it. Thanks to the Minister and thanks for all the contributions, which are certainly on the record now.”

“Order. I remind Members that when they say “you”, they mean me—and I do not want responsibility.”

“I call the shadow Minister.”

“Order. Can Members please all look to the Chair? You are speaking to me, not the Minister. Look to the Chair, so I can hear, and then I can help. Minister, you can be a good example for everybody.”

“I call the Chair of the Select Committee on Education.”

“In that case, I will go to Gareth Snell.”

“I call the shadow Minister.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“I remind the Front Benchers to look towards the Chair now and again, because sometimes I cannot hear what is being said, so that would help me, since Members are speaking through me in the third person. I am trying to get the House to work how it should.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“I call the shadow Minister.”

“I call the deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats.”

“Order. Dr Evans, you have got a sore neck; I wish a little that it was your throat.”
