Lord Mandelson

Debate between Kieran Mullan and Nick Thomas-Symonds

Wednesday 4th February 2026 Commons Chamber

[Nick Thomas-Symonds]

Beyond the deadline to amend the motion—a familiar situation that the right hon. and learned Member and I have found ourselves in before—I want to say something very clearly. I hope the House takes my previous answer on this as having been given in good faith—

[Dr Kieran Mullan (Bexhill and Battle) (Con)]

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. The Minister just said that the deadline has passed to table an amendment. Can you confirm, Mr Speaker, that you just told the House that you would be sympathetic to a manuscript amendment, which would not be subject to that deadline?
