Debate between Angela Eagle and Lindsay Hoyle

Tuesday 22nd November 2016 Commons Chamber

[Ms Eagle]

Will the Minister give way?

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

Order. If the Minister is not going to give way, the hon. Lady will have to sit back down.

[Ms Eagle]

[Mr Deputy Speaker]

Order. If the Minister wishes to give way, he will do so. The bottom line is that the hon.

The bottom line is, I want the Minister to get to the end. He may give way if he wishes to; otherwise, he should carry on.

Debate between Angela Eagle and Lindsay Hoyle

Wednesday 15th July 2015 Commons Chamber

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

Order. I think the hon. Lady has got the point.

[Ms Eagle]

I thank the right hon. and learned Gentleman for accepting my goodwill, at least. We are in a more complex position than we needed to be in because of the way in which the Government have chosen to proceed on this difficult issue. In my view, cross-party consensus leads to more sustainable and long-lasting solutions.
