Madam Deputy Speaker (Dawn Primarolo)
Order. A large number of Members wish to comment on the statement, which means that questions have to be brief. I will cut hon. Members off if they are not brief, and I will not be able to call anybody who arrived late to the statement.
Jeremy Lefroy (Stafford) (Con)
May I welcome the Secretary of State to her position? Is she satisfied that the Government of Afghanistan are doing everything necessary to deal with the Kabul bank corruption scandal?

Debate between Baroness Primarolo and Jeremy Lefroy
Jeremy Lefroy (Stafford) (Con)
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. In asking a question of the Chancellor regarding London commodity markets and their impact on smallholder farmers around the world following his statement last Thursday, I inadvertently failed to draw Members’ attention to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. I wish to do so now and apologise for the oversight.
Madam Deputy Speaker (Dawn Primarolo)
I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for putting that information on the record. He has been quite ingenious in using a point of order to do so. I am sure that the House is grateful for that correction.
