Summer Adjournment

Baroness Laing of Elderslie Excerpts

Thursday 20th July 2017 Commons Chamber

That this House has considered matters to be raised before the forthcoming Adjournment.—(Craig Whittaker.)

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

Before I call the first colleague to speak, I draw it to the House’s attention that a great many people wish to speak, that we have a limited amount of time and that, if colleagues wish to be courteous, it would be helpful if they spoke for no more than seven or seven and a half minutes. If everybody takes about seven minutes, all colleagues will have a chance to make the points that they wish to make. I realise that it is not fair because the first speaker has not had previous warning, but I am sure that he can tailor his remarks accordingly. I call Mr Ian Liddell-Grainger.
