European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018

Debate between Lord Field of Birkenhead and Jeremy Corbyn

Tuesday 29th January 2019 Commons Chamber

[Jeremy Corbyn]

I am making progress, Mr Speaker—

[Frank Field (Birkenhead) (Ind)]

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. There may be quite a few people in the country watching this debate. They will not understand that our shouting is one way of seeing whether somebody can maintain a line of argument to his and her colleagues here. Given the damage that this debate is already doing to our standing with the nation, might not you consider taking all the amendments that you did not call, and closing the proceedings early so that we can actually vote on those amendments. The country will understand that, whereas they do not understand this behaviour.
