Christopher Chope Excerpts

Tuesday 17th July 2018 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

I know, but he was exceptional.

[Sir Christopher Chope (Christchurch) (Con)]

Further to that point of order, Mr Speaker. In our earlier exchanges I intimated that strong rumours were circulating that the Government were not going to move the motion on when the House will go into recess, as indeed they have not, and you intimated then that, as soon as the Government made a decision, it would be courteous of them to communicate it to the House at the earliest possible opportunity. I wonder, have you been able to find out the time at which the Government decided that they were not going to move the motion, and what was done between the time of that decision and 7.15 pm?
