Speeches by Ghani.

“Is it pertinent to the actual debate?”

“Before Mr Smith responds to that intervention, I must add that we have just shy of 40 people hoping to contribute to this debate, and I want to get them all in.”

“This is going to end up in a back and forth on things that are not a matter for the Chair. Declarations are the responsibility of individual Members to make appropriately through the right processes.”

“Is it really a point of order?”

“I call the shadow Minister.”

“With this it will be convenient to discuss the following: Government new clause 40—Political funds: requirement to pass political resolution. Government new clause 41—Industrial action ballots: support thresholds. Government new clause 42—Notice of industrial action ballot and sample voting paper for employers. Governm…”

“I thank the hon. Member for advance notice of her point of order. I know that she has been diligent in seeking advice on how and when to declare an interest. That is now on the record.”

“Then I will end that there.”

“I am grateful to the right hon. Member for giving notice of her point of order. The Chair is not responsible for the accuracy of Ministers’ statements in the House, but she has put her point of order on the record. I do not believe that the Minister wishes to respond—”

“Order. Just before the Minister responds, the hon. Member knows that he cannot use the term “deliberately misleading”. I ask him to withdraw that statement.”

“We have around 35 minutes remaining. Questions must be short and the Minister’s response must be on point and tight. I call the Father of the House.”

“Yes, the clock has stopped. You started at 7 pm, but you did take an intervention, so I think you can go for one more minute.”

“I call Alex Sobel, and ask him to keep his remarks to four minutes.”

“Mr Robinson, there are nine minutes remaining of this Adjournment debate.”

“Quite. I call Dr Jeevun Sandher.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson, Lisa Smart.”

“The time limit on speeches is five minutes.”

“There is a five-minute time limit. I call the Chair of the Justice Committee.”

“Before I call the shadow Secretary of State, I inform the House that because many people wish to contribute, Back Benchers will have a time limit of five minutes to begin with.”

“Order. You said “your”—I was not the Minister. A short and sharp intervention, please.”
