The debate will be opened by the Chair of the Health and Social Care Committee.

I…

Commons Proceedings 15 June 2026
Point of Order
I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for notice of his point of order, and I understand that he also notified the Minister that he intended to raise it. As he will know, it is not a matter for the Chair, but I am sure that Government Front Benchers have heard him, and if the Minister wishes to respon…

Russian Shadow Fleet
I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.
Order. The hon. Gentleman has been here long enough to know that we do not refer to Ministers by their name. Could he perhaps make sure that his question finishes briefly?

Water Companies
I call the Chair of the Environmental Audit Committee.
I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.
Commons Debate 8 June 2026
Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill
With this it will be convenient to discuss the following: Clause stand part. Amendment 14, in clause 2, page 1, line 14, leave out “includes (but is not limited to)” and insert “means”. This amendment would limit the public interest test to the areas set out in subsections (a) to (c). Amendmen…
Commons Debate 2 June 2026 3 contributions
Armed Forces Bill
Order. May I reiterate the comments made by the Chairman of Ways and Means earlier? The point that the hon. Lady and others have raised is not in the scope of this Bill, so perhaps it is best if we move on.
I call the Chair of the Defence Committee.

Mr Speaker has not selected the reasoned amendment.
Commons Debate 20 May 2026 5 contributions
Defence Readiness
I call the shadow Minister.
Before I call the Secretary of State, I would like to say that, while I appreciate that I am preaching to the choir, because every Member present is indeed present, perhaps the message can get back to colleagues who are not present that page 4 of the guide to Chamber courtesies indicates that if you…

Commons Debate 27 April 2026
Northern Ireland Troubles Bill (Carry-over)

Commons Debate 23 April 2026 4 contributions
Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency
Members might be interested to know that we will come to the Front-Bench spokespeople at half-past 4. About 10 Members are standing, so you can work out that a time limit will not be needed, unless they talk for an excessive 10 minutes each.
Order. It might be helpful if I highlight that driving tests are governed not by the DVLA, but by the DVSA—the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency. The subject of this afternoon’s debate is very specifically the DVLA. Perhaps Members might take that as a point of information and constrain their rema…
