Speaker’s Statement

Claire Perry Excerpts

Wednesday 19th December 2018 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

It is perfectly in order to offer that expression of opinion, and I say that on advice from the Clerk. I did not witness that exchange.

[The Minister for Energy and Clean Growth (Claire Perry)]

He said it.

[Mr Speaker]

I am not asking the Minister of State what she thinks he said; I am responding to the hon. Lady’s point of order. People are entitled to offer their own views within the rules of order, and to the best of my knowledge, nothing disorderly was said. I am happy to look at the record and consult further, but the advice I have received is that nothing disorderly was said.
