Commons ChamberOn a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. Earlier in the statement the shadow Minister, the hon. Member for Erith and Thamesmead (Abena Oppong-Asare), mentioned Wade Ceramics in my constituency and that of my hon. Friend the Member for Stoke-on-Trent Central (Jo Gideon), suggesting that its factory had closed due to a lack of support on energy costs, but it was actually one of the most efficient and modern factories in the whole industry; the main reason it closed is that it lost its main contract. Can you advise me on how the record might be corrected?
I thank the hon. Member for his point of order and for giving advance notice of it. I was not here for what the shadow Minister said, but Mr Speaker has always indicated that, should any Member—including shadow Ministers and Ministers—reflect on what they have said and find that they have made an error, they should correct it at the earliest possible opportunity. The hon. Member has put his view on record, and I thank him for that.
