Equitable Life Policyholders: Compensation

Eleanor Laing Excerpts

Thursday 23rd March 2017 Commons Chamber

[Sir Peter Bottomley]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I would like to correct an oversight. When I intervened on the hon. Member for Leeds North East (Fabian Hamilton), I should have declared that I have a small Equitable Life policy.

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Mrs Eleanor Laing)]

We are grateful to the hon. Gentleman for his correction of the record.

--- Later in debate ---

[Several hon. Members rose—]

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Mrs Eleanor Laing)]

Order. I notice that Members are asking questions that they would like the Minister to answer, so the House will want to hear from the Minister at some length at the end of the debate. I want to make sure there is enough time for the Minister to speak, so I hope colleagues will now restrict their remarks to eight or nine minutes.
