Finance Bill

Debate between Graham Stuart and Nusrat Ghani

Committee of the whole House
Wednesday 11th December 2024 Commons Chamber

[Graham Stuart]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker.

[The Chairman]

I assume that this is an appropriate point of order.

[Graham Stuart]

Is this what we are supposed to be discussing this afternoon? I obviously fail to follow its relevance to VAT on private schools, which is what I thought we were discussing, but I may be mistaken.

[The Chairman]

We are discussing private schools and VAT. I do not think that is an appropriate point of order, but, Dr Sandher, there is no doubt that you will bring your contribution very close to VAT and schools. I look forward to hearing that.

Budget Resolutions

Debate between Graham Stuart and Nusrat Ghani

Wednesday 6th November 2024 Commons Chamber

[Graham Stuart]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

Is it a relevant point of order?

[Graham Stuart]

It is.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

Can the point of order not wait, Mr Stuart?

--- Later in debate ---

[Graham Stuart]

No, it is relevant here. I wonder whether it is in order for the hon. Gentleman to have been given assurances by the Government that funding will be put in place to mitigate the impact on GPs, because that information has repeatedly been refused to this House. I know, Madam Deputy Speaker that you represent all Back Benchers, like me, in making sure the truth is out.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

You can definitely raise that in your contribution later. It is not a point of order for the Chair, but no doubt the Minister and Front Benchers have heard and can respond accordingly.

Dr Opher, you will shortly run out of time, so I would be quick.

[Dr Opher]

Okay. I worked in general practice for 30 years. There is always mitigation for tax changes, and I have no doubt that the Government will look after GPs.

Winter Fuel Payment

Debate between Graham Stuart and Nusrat Ghani

Tuesday 10th September 2024 Commons Chamber

[Graham Stuart]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker.

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Ms Nusrat Ghani)]

Is the point of order directly relevant to the current proceedings?

[Graham Stuart]

Yes, Madam Deputy Speaker. I just want some guidance from you on whether it can be appropriate for Ministers and others on the Government Benches who have been directly funded by the trade unions not to declare that personal benefit before doing something like this, which is hurting millions of pensioners.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

Members are guided to talk about any such conflict before they speak on the Floor of the House. I am not sure that this has a direct impact on proceedings, but the right hon. Gentleman’s point has been noted.
