Speeches by Ghani.

“Let me give the hon. Lady a moment to gather her thoughts before she resumes her speech. It is best not to refer to a Member by their first name. She has a solid 30 minutes—although the Minister has to respond within those 30 minutes—so she can take her time.”

“Order. I call Baggy Shanker.”

“Order. Shadow Minister, I do not think you are speaking to me when you say “you”. You are obviously speaking to the Minister.”

“We have been able to get in over 80 contributions, so thank you very much to everybody for abiding by the time limit. I now call the shadow Minister.”

“I am about to call the final Back-Bench Member. No doubt a lot of colleagues who have contributed will be making their way back to the Chamber for the Front-Bench speeches. I call Matt Turmaine.”

“Order. I call Dr Peter Prinsley.”

“Order. After the next speaker at six minutes, I will drop the limit to three minutes each.”

“We now come to another maiden speech. I call Andrew Ranger.”

“One should never underestimate one’s wife.”

“Order. Interventions prevent other colleagues from contributing, so let us be mindful.”

“I call Susan Murray.”

“Order.”

“I call Sadik Al-Hassan to make his maiden speech.”

“The Chamber is filling up nicely for the last contribution. I call Lee Barron.”

“I call Jon Trickett.”

“Order. Before the right hon. Member responds, interventions are a healthy part of debate, but the hon. Lady should draw the attention of the Member by speaking loudly in asking for an intervention.”

“I do not doubt that the hon. Lady will be a strong advocate for her constituency.”

“We have another maiden speech, from Margaret Mullane.”

“Well done. Your family will be very proud indeed.”

“I call Tom Collins to make his maiden speech.”
