Points of Order

Chris Bryant Excerpts

Monday 7th September 2015 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

I thank the hon. Gentleman for his point of order and appreciate his patience in waiting to be called. It will be entirely orderly for the hon. Gentleman or his party so to table. As Speaker, my responsibility is simply to hear an application and judge whether it has merit, rather than to become embroiled in what might be considered to be competitions between parties. He has asked me a straight question—will it be orderly?—and the answer is yes. That seems to satisfy not only the hon. Gentleman, but, very importantly—and I mean this—the hon. Member for Shipley (Philip Davies) to boot.

[Chris Bryant (Rhondda) (Lab)]

Can we boot the hon. Member for Shipley (Philip Davies)?

[Mr Speaker]

No.
