Sittings in Westminster Hall (Suspension) (No.2)

Baroness Laing of Elderslie Excerpts

Tuesday 12th January 2021 Commons Chamber

[Hon. Members]

Object!

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Eleanor Laing)]

I have to tell the House that Mr Speaker has selected the manuscript amendment to the motion in the name of the hon. Member for Christchurch (Sir Christopher Chope). Copies of that manuscript amendment are available in the Vote Office and electronically. Under the practice of the House under current arrangements, a selected amendment to a motion that cannot be proceeded with after the moment of interruption constitutes an objection, so the motion cannot be taken.
