Sarah Smith
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. The right hon. Member for Tonbridge (Tom Tugendhat) has acted shamefully during this session. First, he suggested that an hon. Member was siding with Hamas, a proscribed terror organisation—a disgraceful slur, which the right hon. Member needs to withdraw. Then, from a sedentary position, he suggested that another one of my hon. Friends was being antisemitic. Will you provide advice, Madam Deputy Speaker, as to how to ensure that the record is corrected and such awful accusations are not allowed to stand?
Madam Deputy Speaker (Caroline Nokes)
I thank the hon. Lady for her point of order. She and all Members will know that good temper and moderation are the characteristics of parliamentary debate, and they should prevail even from a sedentary position.
