European Union (Approvals) Bill [Lords]

Debate between Jacob Rees-Mogg and Peter Bottomley

Monday 27th January 2014 Commons Chamber

[Jacob Rees-Mogg]

My hon. Friend is absolutely right. The Bill is cretaceous—

[Sir Peter Bottomley (Worthing West) (Con)]

Cretaceous?

[Jacob Rees-Mogg]

Yes, as in “from Crete”, and we know the reputation—

[Sir Peter Bottomley]

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. I know that we occasionally allow words from other languages in the Chamber, but I am not sure whether that one should be allowed.

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

I must admit, I did not catch the word that was said, so we will proceed.
