Speaker’s Statement

Debate between Angela Eagle and Michael Fabricant

Monday 21st October 2019 Commons Chamber

[Ms Angela Eagle (Wallasey) (Lab)]

Further to that point of order, Mr Speaker. My point of order is about the nature of this power in the Chair to prevent Parliament being asked to vote again and again on the same thing. Surely this is to prevent an over powerful Executive—[Interruption.]

[Michael Fabricant (Lichfield) (Con)]

I wish we were.

[Mr Speaker]

I cannot quite read the lips of the hon. Member for Lichfield (Michael Fabricant), but I think he is saying, “If only”. The hon. Lady must be heard.
