Points of Order

Debate between Desmond Swayne and Baroness Laing of Elderslie

1st reading: House of Commons
Thursday 26th January 2017 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

Once again, that was not a point of order for the Chair, but we are having a very well-balanced session of points of order.

[Sir Desmond Swayne (New Forest West) (Con)]

It gets better, Madam Deputy Speaker.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

As the right hon. Gentleman says, it gets better. Would he care to make a point of order?

[Sir Desmond Swayne]

indicated dissent.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

No? This seems a good point for requests to Ministers, as we seem to be having a 100% record of having requests fulfilled. That was not a point of order for the Chair, so we will move on.
