Commons ChamberOrder. I have to reduce the time limit to nine minutes.
I am grateful to my hon. Friend for giving way, and I am grateful to the idiot Minister for suggesting that he needs to talk to Sadiq Khan. Does he agree—
Order. I do not think I can possibly have actually heard what I think I heard the hon. Gentleman say. I trust that he will immediately withdraw what he said, and say it, very briefly, in a different form.
I withdraw the comment, but I think that my point will make the case. Does my hon. Friend agree—
Order. The hon. Gentleman will not make a point in this Chamber by using language that is unsuitable for this Chamber.
And I have said that I withdraw it.
Does my hon. Friend agree with me, with Sadiq Khan and with the Home Office’s expert panel that London should receive its full share of the national and international capital city grant, which would deliver an extra £280 million to the Met?
I will not give way. The Government will continue to invest in policing, meaning that this country will invest £13 billion next year in policing. We will do the right thing to make sure that the police have the resources they need, and I commend the motion to the House.
Question put.
The House proceeded to a Division.
I remind the House that this motion is subject to double-majority voting: of the whole House, and of those representing constituencies in England and Wales.
