Point of Order

Julian Lewis Excerpts

Wednesday 11th November 2026 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

I know how important this matter is to the right hon. Member, his constituents and other constituencies around his, so I am very disappointed. I hope the Treasury Bench have heard the comments, and I will be taking this up with the Leader of the House. It is not acceptable. MPs are elected to serve their constituents. When they put in or ask a question, it should be answered in good time. With a named day question, it should be answered, as in its title, by that named day.

[Sir Julian Lewis (New Forest East) (Con)]

[Mr Speaker]

We are not going to continue the argument. That is not the best thing to do at this stage.
