John Bercow Portrait Mr Speaker
- Hansard - - - Excerpts

The hon. Gentleman has raised his concern under the guise, or within the clothing, of an attempted point of order, but as he knows—his puckish grin merely testifies to his awareness of this—that is not a matter for the Chair. If he is beseeching the Secretary of State to come in on that point of order, he is entitled so to beseech. The Secretary of State can do so if he wishes, but he is under no obligation.

The Secretary of State is leaving it there, which he is perfectly entitled to do. I thank him for his statement and his responses to questions.
