Point of Order

Lindsay Hoyle Excerpts

Monday 4th November 2024 Commons Chamber

[Sir Roger Gale (Herne Bay and Sandwich) (Con)]

[Sir Roger Gale]

indicated assent.

[Mr Speaker]

[Sir Roger Gale]

[Mr Speaker]

Absolutely not. I granted the urgent question because I know how important the issue is, including to my good farmers in Chorley.
