Jury Trials
Order. Interventions should be short and colleagues should have been here at the beginning if they wish to intervene— [ Interruption. ] I was not here at the beginning, but I do not need any help. Members must have been here at the beginning of the speech of the Member on whom they wish to intervene…
Before the Minister responds, and to save another Member from any embarrassment, coming in halfway through a speech and trying to intervene is not acceptable.

NHS: Winter Preparedness
Unfortunately, I am not responsible for the content of speeches made by Front Benchers or by Back Benchers. That is not a matter for the Chair, but the hon. Member has most definitely got his point on the record.
Does the Secretary of State wish to respond? Hopefully, we are not going to prolong the debate.

Employment Rights Bill
Before we move to consideration of the Lords message, I can confirm that nothing in the Lords message engages Commons financial privilege.
Clause 1
Right to guaranteed hours
With this it will be convenient to consider the following:
That this House insists on its disagreement with the Lords in their amendments 23 and 106 to 120, does not insist on its amendments 120C, 120D and 120E, and proposes amendments (a) to (f) to the Bill in lieu of Lords amendments 23 and 106 t…

Noted, but we need to be mindful of our language at all times.
