Privileges Committee Special Report

Debate between Baroness Winterton of Doncaster and Michael Fabricant

Monday 10th July 2023 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Rosie Winterton)]

Order. I have not called the hon. Gentleman to make a point of order. If the right hon. and learned Member does not want to give way, which is her right, it is detrimental to the debate if Members who cannot get their own way then make a point of order.

[Michael Fabricant]

But I am making a point of order.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

Make your point of order.

[Michael Fabricant]

My point of order is that it is also discourteous to partly quote something, actually. And what it clearly—

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

Order. The hon. Gentleman must resume his seat. That is not a point of order. He is addressing it directly to the right hon. and learned Lady, not to me. No more of that, thank you.

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Rosie Winterton)]

Order. Once again it is getting very noisy, and we are not able to hear the Minister’s answers. I urge colleagues to listen to the answers that the Minister is giving.

[Michael Fabricant (Lichfield) (Con)]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I wonder whether you could make an inquiry into whether the loud speakers are turned up. Although there is some noise in the Chamber, it is actually rather quiet coming out of the speakers in our Benches.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

I think the situation would be helped—I can still hear a lot of noise, even when I am speaking—[Interruption.] Perfect. I urge colleagues to keep the level of noise down, and then we will be able to hear what the Minister is saying.
