Speaker’s Statement

Debate between Mel Stride and Harriett Baldwin

Wednesday 23rd October 2019 Commons Chamber

[Mel Stride (Central Devon) (Con)]

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. May I thank you very much indeed for your personal kind words and say what an honour it is to have been elected by this House to this very important Committee? I would like to extend my thanks to my fellow candidates—we had a very strong field—and to say that I will reciprocate the confidence that the House has shown in me by chairing that Committee with the utmost fairness. Finally, may I say that, at a time of great sound and fury in this Chamber, I hope that our Committee now brings forward some illumination and light.

[Harriett Baldwin (West Worcestershire) (Con)]
