Steel Industry

Debate between Angela Eagle and Greg Knight

Wednesday 28th October 2015 Commons Chamber

[Ms Eagle]

We would all like to see that. The Government do their cause no good by attempting artificially to inflate how much money they are giving to help a steel community that they refused to save by intervening in the hard closure.

[Sir Greg Knight (East Yorkshire) (Con)]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I apologise for interrupting the hon. Lady, but the deferred Division has less than 15 minutes to run, and the ballot papers have run out. There are no papers available to vote in the deferred Division. Could you tell us what you are going to do about this and whether you will extend the period of the Division beyond 2 pm?

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Natascha Engel)]

I thank the right hon. Gentleman for his point of order, but I am informed that this has now been sorted and that there are now ballot papers.
