Business without Debate

Eleanor Laing Excerpts

Friday 21st October 2022 Commons Chamber

[John Spellar (Warley) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. Is there any way of saying to the public outside, 90% of whom approve of that Bill, that it has been put off and even promised by the Government, but yet again, the Government Whips Office is blocking it? Is there any way of letting them know what is happening?

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Eleanor Laing)]

No. The right hon. Gentleman asks a reasonable question, but no, there is no such way—except insofar as he has just done so.
