Northern Ireland (Executive Formation etc) Act 2019 Section 4

Debate between Carolyn Harris and Lindsay Hoyle

Monday 30th September 2019 Commons Chamber

[Emma Little Pengelly (Belfast South) (DUP)]

I thank the hon. Lady for giving way. One particular challenge in Northern Ireland—[Interruption.] Had she finished?

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Sir Lindsay Hoyle)]

I do not think she had given way. Let us just clarify this. Have you finished your speech?

[Carolyn Harris]

indicated assent.

[Mr Deputy Speaker]

In which case, I call Fiona Bruce.

--- Later in debate ---

[Carolyn Harris]

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that I am here and I did speak up? It is a matter of record that I have a real interest in this, in any part of the United Kingdom—I am not invisible.

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Sir Lindsay Hoyle)]

We are dealing with section 4. I understand that, quite rightly, the point has been made and the hon. Gentleman has got it on the record, but I am sure that as the spokesperson for the DUP on gambling he desperately wants to get to the points that are relevant.

Budget Resolutions

Debate between Carolyn Harris and Lindsay Hoyle

1st reading: House of Commons
Thursday 1st November 2018 Commons Chamber

[Carolyn Harris (Swansea East) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. There are sad reports that the Minister for Sport, the hon. Member for Chatham and Aylesford (Tracey Crouch), has resigned as a direct result of the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s Budget. Will someone on the Treasury Bench confirm whether that is true? If it is, I want to put on record my support for the Minister’s work and to thank her for the job she has done. Will the Chancellor confirm to the House whether this is the first time that a member of the Government has resigned during the votes on a Budget as a direct result of a Chancellor’s policies?

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Sir Lindsay Hoyle)]

As the hon. Lady is well aware, that is not a point of order for the Chair, but it is now on the record for all to know.
