Responsibility for the veracity of what is said in the Chamber is that of each individual…27 Mar 2019HANSARDPoints of OrderIf the hon. Lady had an allegation of contempt to make, it would have to be made in writing to me.

This is a very serious matter—I…27 Mar 2019HANSARDPoints of OrderI think the fairest thing I can say to the right hon. Lady, whose extremely alarming personal experience lends weight to her observation, is that I might usefully convene a…27 Mar 2019HANSARDPoints of OrderYes. I quite understand Members’ desire to visit the constituency of the hon. Gentleman.

Member…27 Mar 2019HANSARD Business of the HouseOrder. I am sure that the hon. Gentleman would not make a personal charge that impugned the integrity of the Leader of the House. Members can make a wider political charge, but…27 Mar 2019HANSARD Business of the HouseThere is no need to move the closure because this is a time-limited debate, and the time limit will be well known to the hon. Gentleman. If he can just contain his impatience,…27 Mar 2019HANSARDPoints of OrderI will come to the hon. Member for Shipley (Philip Davies), but first I call Vicky Ford.27 Mar 2019HANSARDEngagementsWe hope the ambassador’s palate was satisfied. I dare say we will be hearing about it if it was not.27 Mar 2019HANSARD EU: Withdrawal and Future Relationship (Votes)I hear what the hon. Lady said, but I do not think it is for me to adjudicate.

Gentleman well knows, and he comes from a constituency that is very academic, rather highbrow, intellectual—27 Mar 2019HANSARDElite-level Professional TennisI entirely agree with the Secretary of State. We all commend the heroic successes of Andy and Jamie Murray and want to build on them this year and beyond. I think that we should…27 Mar 2019HANSARDPoints of OrderThe hon.

Member for Sedgefield (Phil Wilson), I am afraid that it will be necessary to reduce the time limit on Back-Bench speeches to three…27 Mar 2019
