“Order. Just as we respected the Chancellor and heard her speak, we will hear the Leader of the Opposition.”

“I call the Leader of the Opposition.”

“I call the shadow Minister.”

“I call the Minister.”

“We have heard many powerful and moving contributions, the last of which will be from Dave Robertson.”

“Order. I call Jim Allister.”

“Order. I call Sarah Hall.”
