Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
I remind Members that it is not customary to impose a speech limit on private Members’ Bills, but I hope that after the Member in charge of the Bill and the speaker after that, Members will restrict themselves to about seven to eight minutes in the first instance; that includes taking interventions.…
Order. The Member has made clear that she is not taking interventions at this point.

Deputy Speaker’s Statement
Order. Before we begin, as Mr Speaker said in his statement yesterday, today marks the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the United States. It is also the subject of today’s Adjournment debate. I, too, have seen the site of the attacks, and it is a harrowing reminder. We remember the 2,977 inn…

Air Traffic Control Disruption
Before we come to the urgent question, I must say how disappointing it is that the Government were not forthcoming with a proactive ministerial statement on this matter. The disruption to aviation and the impact on many constituents has been considerable. I hope the Minister and the Treasury Front B…

Point of Order
The point of order and its content are not a matter for the Chair. I have not been notified of any Minister coming forward at this point, but I have only just come into the Chair. If the hon. Gentleman needs to seek further advice, there is no doubt that the Speaker’s Office can let him know where h…

Policing in Cleveland
Before the statement on Cleveland policing, I should inform the House that charges have been brought against a number of individuals in relation to the fatal collision on the A66 and the house fire in Grangetown. Those cases are now sub judice. It is possible that other charges may be brought.
Mr S…

Sir David Amess Summer Adjournment
We now come to the Sir David Amess summer Adjournment debate, and I call Bob Blackman, who will speak for up to 15 minutes. Many Back Benchers wish to speak, so I suspect that there will be a speaking limit.
Order. There will be a four-minute speaking limit for Back-Bench Members. I want to put on the record my gratitude to the late Sir David Amess. He was a huge mentor of mine and he constantly fretted about my security. It never occurred to me that we should have been fretting about his.
I want to th…

All Members should be familiar with the convention that they should inform colleagues in advance whenever they intend to visit another Member’s constituency. As the guide to the rules of behaviour and courtesy states,
“failure to do so is rightly regarded by colleagues as very discourteous.”
