Property Taxes
Order. Before the Minister responds, I will say that we have quite a few colleagues hoping to contribute, so interventions should be short. The Minister should be aware of that and consider how much longer he wishes to contribute.
Before I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson, I inform the House that all Back Benchers will be on a time limit of four minutes.

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill
As colleagues can see from looking around the Chamber, there are far too many speakers to be accommodated by 7 pm, when this debate has to end. As such, after the next speaker, the speaking limit will be three minutes, and you can calculate the numbers—not everybody will get in, even on that time li…

Sir David Amess Summer Adjournment
There are about 16 colleagues bobbing. For me to try to get them all in, I will have to reduce the speaking limit again to four minutes. It may reduce again.
A portion of Southend West was represented by David Amess, and I call the new MP for the area.

Victory over Japan: 80th Anniversary
Colleagues will note that this is a very time-limited debate, so I call for brevity from both Front Benchers and Back Benchers, please.
There are far too many Members wishing to speak for me to squeeze in before the debate concludes. There will be a sharp speaking limit of four minutes for Back Benchers to begin with, but please note that many colleagues will be disappointed. I call the shadow Minister.

I am grateful to the right hon. Member for giving notice of his point of order. It is important that Members receive timely answers to their correspondence. I am sure that those on the Treasury Bench will have noted the right hon. Member’s remarks, and will no doubt respond forthwith.

Business of the House
Where do we go from there? I call the shadow Leader of the House.
Before the Leader of the House responds, in case I misheard, let me say that the shadow Leader of the House knows we do not accuse colleagues of misleading the House. “Inadvertent” is the language.

The hon. Member has now twice put her words on the record, no doubt. If she is not aware—and for colleagues across the House who may not be aware— Hansard has its own editorial policy. If she wishes to have her words corrected, she needs to take that up directly with Hansard. That is not a responsib…

I am grateful to the hon. Member for giving notice of her point of order. The Chair is not responsible for Members’ comments on social media, but I am sure the Table Office will be able to advise on how to pursue the matter further.
I am grateful to the hon. Member for giving notice of his point of order and, I believe, for confirming that he notified the hon. Member for South Suffolk. The remarks he refers to were not recorded in Hansard . None the less, I remind all hon. Members that good temper and moderation are the charact…

Deprivation of Citizenship Orders (Effect during Appeal) Bill
I remind Members that in Committee, Members should not address the Chair as “Deputy Speaker”. Please use our names when addressing the Chair. “Chair” and “Madam Chair” are also acceptable.
With this it will be convenient to consider:
Clauses 1 and 2 stand part.
New clause 1— Independent review —
“(1) The Secretary of State must, within one year of the passing of this Act, commission an independent review of the effects of the changes made to section 40A of the British Nationality A…
