Several hon. Members rose—
Madam Deputy Speaker (Judith Cummins)
If Members can limit their remarks to around five minutes, we should be able to get everybody in.
Neil O’Brien (Harborough, Oadby and Wigston) (Con)
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. For the last 18 months, the Government have been sitting on the guidance relating to gender-questioning children in schools—a very controversial subject—which the Government keep saying is coming. It has become apparent in the last half an hour that they plan to publish this guidance at 4 pm today, just moments before the House goes into recess for a week. It is hard to see this as anything other than a deliberate attempt to avoid the scrutiny of this House on an important issue. What can we do to put this right?
Madam Deputy Speaker (Judith Cummins)
I thank the hon. Gentleman for his point of order. As he will be aware, it is up to the Government as to whether they want to make a statement, but I will ensure that Mr Speaker is aware.
