Speeches by Ghani.

“I call the Leader of the Opposition.”

“Order. Can colleagues who are exiting the Chamber do so swiftly and quietly, so that we can focus on the Leader of the Opposition?”

“Order. The Chief Whip in particular knows that we do not allow clapping in the Chamber.”

“Order. Colleagues need most definitely to simmer down: just breathe a little and allow the Leader of the Opposition to be heard.”

“Order. Conservative colleagues are drowning out the Leader of the Opposition’s speech, so just be mindful that nobody at home will be able to hear her.”

“Order. If you are on the Front Bench, I can obviously see you, Mr Kyle. There is no need for you to be chuntering this loudly. Everyone else can see and hear you as well.”

“Order. Mr Vince! And Mr Thompson, you are so enthusiastic that I was worried a moment ago that you would knock Mr Waugh off his seat. We need to calm down and breathe, and we need to ensure that we can hear the Leader of the Opposition.”

“Order. Members who are leaving the Chamber should do so quietly and quickly before we come to our first Back-Bench contribution. Other Members who are trying to catch my eye should resume their seat; I have noticed them bobbing. I call the Chair of the Treasury Committee.”

“Order. I will remind colleagues that interventions must be short and to the point, and must be an actual question, not a statement.”

“Order. How on earth can “you” do that? We cannot start off these four days of Budget debate with the words “you” and “your”. Come to your conclusion quickly and using the right language.”

“Order. Colleagues are now permitted to make interventions, which a Back Bencher may accept or decline them.”

“I call the leader of the Liberal Democrats.”

“Order. You are a senior Member of the House, and I made it very clear earlier that no interventions should be made on party leaders.”

“The hon. Member for East Grinstead and Uckfield (Mims Davies) is a strong campaigner on behalf of Uckfield community hospital and its services, which my constituents in Sussex Weald will have used and would want to use, so I too look forward to hearing the Minister’s response.”

“I call my constituency neighbour, Mims Davies.”

“Order. The time limit for speeches is now three minutes.”

“I call the shadow Minister.”

“I am grateful to the hon. Member for giving notice of her point of order. It is not a point of order for the Chair, but she has most definitely put her point on the record.”

“Colleagues who have contributed to the debate should be here for the wind-ups. That is a notice. I call the shadow Minister.”

“Order. Mr Holmes, before you flick through any more pages, it is obviously very interesting to hear you speak, but over 25 Members are hoping to contribute.”
