Speaker’s Statement
Before we come to the ministerial statement on the China case, I wish to make a brief statement. Members will know that I have already put on record my disappointment that the charges against two individuals relating to espionage for the Chinese authorities have been dropped. I am not only disappoin…

Coalfields Regeneration Trust: Capital Funding Request
I am intrigued to hear how coalfield regeneration relates to the hon. Gentleman’s part of Northern Ireland. I call Jim Shannon.
Order. So the hon. Gentleman is saying that he has coalfields in his constituency? [Interruption.] Okay. I am going to allow the question, but I ask that we think about whether issues are relevant to our constituencies.

I gently say to the right hon. Gentleman, as he is a senior Member, that though he has taken the time he felt was required, it has been longer than 15 minutes.
May I just say that when we refer to other Members, it should be by constituency, not by name. I call the Chair of the Foreign Affairs Comm…

Points of Order
It is totally unacceptable to treat any Member of any party in this House that way. To be left with a holding answer for three months is not acceptable. I am sure those on the Treasury Bench are now busily answering that question; if not, please let me know, and I am sure we can do something more ab…
I will be quite honest: this House should be treated with respect. The fact is that I am not quite sure whether the Secretary of State could have come to the House before the Typhoons were needed—and I never want to put the House in that position. I can assure the hon. Gentleman, however, that I hav…

Point of Order
I assume that the hon. Member has given notice to the hon. Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Danny Beales) of his intention to raise this matter?
I thank the hon. Member for the point of order and for giving notice of it. There are mechanisms for Members to correct the record if they so wish. He has put the matter on the record, but if he wishes to continue, I am sure that the Government Front Benchers will have heard him.

Before I call the Minister, I wish to make a brief statement.

Of course, we do not discuss the detail of security matters rela…
