Compulsory Emergency First Aid Education (State-funded Secondary Schools) Bill

Debate between Lindsay Hoyle and Wes Streeting

Friday 20th November 2015 Commons Chamber

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

Order. I must say to the Minister that he cannot read out a telephone book of examples. He needs to try to get to the point we are dealing with.

[Wes Streeting]

Why is he talking out the Bill?

[Mr Gyimah]

I am not talking out the Bill, as the hon. Gentleman suggests from a sedentary position. I think it is insulting to this House, which is a bastion of free speech and the cradle of democracy, that people should not be able to develop their arguments fully.

Finance Bill

Debate between Lindsay Hoyle and Wes Streeting

Monday 26th October 2015 Commons Chamber

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

Sir Edward, as you well know, it takes both Houses to agree. The subject has come before this House and I am sure that this is not the end of the matter, but you have certainly enabled us to be informed.

[Wes Streeting]

Member for Gainsborough (Sir Edward Leigh) raised that point of order in the manner he did underpins the importance of Members of this House—I believe the majority of them are also opposed to the changes—trooping through the right voting Lobby to ensure that there is in fact an alignment of opinion between the two Houses, even though the Government Whips colluded last week to ensure—

[Mr Deputy Speaker]

Order. I am not getting into a debate on the merits or not of the subject. I have given my answer and I am sure that all hon. Members have taken it on board. I want to get back to the debate. We still have a lot of speakers to come.

Tax Credits

Debate between Lindsay Hoyle and Wes Streeting

Tuesday 20th October 2015 Commons Chamber

[Wes Streeting (Ilford North) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. I was wondering whether it was disorderly or simply discourteous that in his winding-up speech the Chief Secretary to the Treasury neglected to congratulate the hon. Member for South Cambridgeshire (Heidi Allen) on her maiden speech.

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

If that was the case, I am sure it was not deliberate. No hon. Member would miss out a maiden speech.
