Children and Young People with Complex Needs

Eleanor Laing Excerpts

Friday 10th December 2021 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Eleanor Laing)]

I took the hon. Gentleman’s raised eyebrows as an indication that he wished to raise a point of order before I adjourn the House. We could have had more time on the debate, so I gave him the opportunity to make the point. The Minister is at liberty to say whatever she wishes at the Dispatch Box—that is not a matter for me—but she may wish to respond to his point.

[Maggie Throup]

Further to that point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I promise to write to my hon. Friend on the specific issues that he raised and I will look into them very seriously.

--- Later in debate ---

[Sir Charles Walker]

Further to that point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I thank the Minister for that kind offer. It was not an attack on her—I think she is as disappointed as I am.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

I appreciate the points that the hon. Gentleman and the Minister have made.

Question put and agreed to.
