Point of Order

Chris Bryant Excerpts

Tuesday 17th January 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for his point of order and for notice of it. I certainly agree that no Member of the House should be intimidated in exercising his or her undoubted right to free expression in this House. I might add that although my own imagination is moderately vivid, the idea of the right hon. Gentleman being intimidated by the Russian embassy or anybody else is beyond it.

[Chris Bryant (Rhondda) (Lab)]

They send you bottles of vodka and take you to a Japanese restaurant.

[Mr Speaker]

If there are no further points of order, or sedentary heckles by the hon. Gentleman, we shall move on to the ten-minute rule Bill.
