National Health Service (Amended Duties and Powers) Bill

Debate between Lindsay Hoyle and Clive Efford

Friday 21st November 2014 Commons Chamber

[Clive Efford]

claimed to move the closure (Standing Order No. 36).

Question put forthwith, That the Question be now put.

The House proceeded to a Division.

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

I ask the Serjeant at Arms to investigate the delay in the No Lobby.

--- Later in debate ---

[Clive Efford]

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. I understand that, in order to go into Committee, this Bill requires a resolution from the Government. Given the overwhelming number of people who turned up on a Friday to support it, would it not be churlish of the Government not to pass that resolution and make sure that this Bill goes into Committee forthwith?

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

As you pointed out, it is something for the Government, but not me, to take on board.

LIBOR (FSA Investigation)

Thursday 28th June 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

Order. We have heard the question. The hon. Gentleman should have the courtesy to listen to the answer, even if he does not like it. There is no need to get so excited—

[Clive Efford]

Plenty of people out there are excited.

[Mr Deputy Speaker]

Order. Is the hon. Gentleman questioning me?

[Clive Efford]

I apologise, Mr Deputy Speaker.

Points of Order

Debate between Lindsay Hoyle and Clive Efford

Wednesday 27th June 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

No notice of such a statement has been given to the Chair. As the hon. Gentleman will recognise, the other part of his question was not a point of order for the Chair. I am sure that those on the Treasury Bench will have heard what he had to say.

[Clive Efford (Eltham) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. I know that the Prime Minister would not want to mislead the House. Will you tell me how I might put on record the fact that the private finance initiative for Queen Elizabeth hospital in south-east London was advertised in the Official Journal of the European Community on 1 March 1995 under the previous Conservative Government?

[Mr Deputy Speaker]

The hon. Gentleman has put his point on the record. We are obviously not going to open up that point again.
