Oral Answers to Questions

Dennis Skinner Excerpts

Monday 9th May 2016 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

From the context of her question, I think that the hon. Lady was levelling the charge of inconsistency as between one Minister and another. I know she would not accuse a Minister of behaving hypocritically to another.

[Mr Dennis Skinner (Bolsover) (Lab)]

She was talking about the Government.

[Mr Speaker]

Well, if the reference were to the Government as a collective, that would be another way—

[Mr Skinner]

Exactly.

[Mr Speaker]

That would render it orderly. I am very grateful to the hon. Member for Bolsover (Mr Skinner) for proffering advice, especially from a sedentary position.
