Point of Order

Baroness Winterton of Doncaster Excerpts

Thursday 15th June 2023 Commons Chamber

[David Duguid (Banff and Buchan) (Con)]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. In yesterday’s Scottish National party Opposition day debate, I referred in my speech to the long list of support provided by this Government to help people with the cost of living crisis —you may recall that, as you were in the Chair—including the maintenance of the triple lock on pensions. I inadvertently used the wrong numbers and instead of giving the new figures, I reported the old ones. I gave a figure of £141.85 for the basic state pension and £185.15 for the new state pension, but I should have said £156.20 and £203.85 respectively. Will you assure me that my having stated that today is sufficient to correct the record?

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

I thank the hon. Gentleman for his point of order. Clearly, he has corrected the record, at the earliest opportunity, so I thank him for that.

[Richard Drax (South Dorset) (Con)]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

I am slightly anxious that we need to move on. Is this relevant to the statement that we have just heard?

[Richard Drax]

No, it is not. I will sit down.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

I wonder whether it would be appropriate for us to take it after the next statement, because I think colleagues are anxious to move on to that.
