Debate between Baroness Laing of Elderslie and Laura Pidcock

Tuesday 5th December 2017 Commons Chamber

[Laura Pidcock]

I will not give way. If you do not acknowledge that power dynamics exist—

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Mrs Eleanor Laing)]

Order. The hon. Lady must not say you. I advise everyone else who has a speech written out to look through it and score out the yous.

[Laura Pidcock]

Conservative Members will not acknowledge that power dynamics sometimes prevent the truth from being heard.

[Laura Pidcock]

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Mrs Eleanor Laing)]

Order. That is not a point of order. If the hon. Lady wishes to make that point, she will have to intervene on the hon. Member for Stirling (Stephen Kerr), who currently has the Floor. Whether or not he takes her intervention would be a matter of great interest.
