Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Derek Twigg and Lindsay Hoyle

[Derek Twigg [V]]

[Inaudible.] In my constituency, the jobcentre is not referring people to the Widnes food bank. It is important that the Minister intervenes and ensures that referrals do take place so that the people who need help get it quickly.

[Mr Speaker]

Minister, did you get any of that?

Finance Bill

Debate between Derek Twigg and Lindsay Hoyle

Tuesday 6th July 2010 Commons Chamber

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. The Chief Secretary hinted a few moments ago that the money was not available for Building Schools for the Future projects in my constituency, yet the shadow Education Secretary has had a letter from the permanent secretary at the Department for Education saying that the money was available. Also, I know for a fact that the money was there for the Mersey Gateway project, yet the Chief Secretary said it was not. Can we have some consistency in the accuracy of answers?

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

That is not a point of order. If the hon. Gentleman wants to intervene, it is up to the Minister to give way if he wishes.
