Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Bill

Debate between Andrea Leadsom and Baroness Primarolo

Monday 10th June 2013 Commons Chamber

[Andrea Leadsom (South Northamptonshire) (Con)]

I am delighted to follow my hon. and learned Friend the Member for Sleaford and North Hykeham (Stephen Phillips), who gave us some very interesting information about forced marriage that I was not fully aware of, so I thank him for that. I realise that we are a bit short of time, but I am grateful for a few short minutes—

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dawn Primarolo)]

Order. I would not like the hon. Lady to feel that she has to curtail her comments. She has approximately 10 minutes in which to make her speech, as did everyone else.

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dawn Primarolo)]

Order. We are not discussing the broader question of scrutiny of all European matters. This is specifically a debate that is mainly about Croatia, and I therefore hope that the hon. Lady will now come back to that subject. She has got her point on the record, and so has the hon. Gentleman.

[Andrea Leadsom]

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

Order. The hon. Lady must respond only with regard to Croatia. I hope that she will not respond to the hon. Gentleman’s point about his party’s proposals for scrutiny. We are not discussing that; we are discussing Croatia.

European Union Bill

Debate between Andrea Leadsom and Baroness Primarolo

Monday 11th July 2011 Commons Chamber

[Andrea Leadsom (South Northamptonshire) (Con)]

Does the hon. Gentleman regret the fact, then, than when in government Labour did not give the British people a referendum on the Lisbon treaty?

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dawn Primarolo)]

Order. We are talking about amendments from the Lords on constitutional issues. I am sure, Mr David, that you were going to come to the Dispatch Box and focus on exactly those issues.
