Points of Order

Chris Bryant Excerpts

Thursday 12th January 2017 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

Well! My cup runneth over. To be complimented by a parliamentarian of the repute of the right hon. Gentleman really does cause me, for the rest of the day, to go about my business with an additional glint in my eye and a spring in my step.

[Chris Bryant (Rhondda) (Lab)]

And two inches taller.

[Mr Speaker]

And possibly two inches taller. I am a happy man indeed. I have always liked the right hon. Member for New Forest West (Sir Desmond Swayne), in the 20 years I have known him, and I like him even more now.

[Chris Bryant]

Eleanor is not going to call him. [Laughter.]

[Mr Speaker]

I think the hon. Gentleman had better watch himself a little bit with the Deputy Speakers in the coming days.
