Northern Powerhouse Rail

Debate between Judith Cummins and Sarah Pochin

Wednesday 14th January 2026 Commons Chamber

[Sarah Pochin]

No, we haven’t. That’s a lie! [Interruption.]

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Judith Cummins)]

Order. That was so loud.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

I would welcome the Member withdrawing that.

[Sarah Pochin]

Yes, I do withdraw that. I am sorry. I apologise. However—[Interruption.]

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

Order.

--- Later in debate ---

[Sarah Pochin (Runcorn and Helsby) (Reform)]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I believe that the Secretary of State has inadvertently misled the House on Reform’s voting record. We have always supported more transport in the north. I ask your advice on how we can correct the record.

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Judith Cummins)]

I am grateful to the hon. Member for letting the Chair know that she wished to raise this matter. However, the Chair is not responsible for how the Secretary of State answered her question.
