Spring Adjournment

Lindsay Hoyle Excerpts

Tuesday 24th May 2011 Commons Chamber

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

I remind the House that we will now have a six-minute limit on Back-Bench speeches right across the piece.

[Mr Peter Bone (Wellingborough) (Con)]

I beg to move,

That this House has considered matters to be raised before the forthcoming adjournment.

I move the motion on behalf of the Backbench Business Committee. It uses the Hollobone method.

[Mr Deputy Speaker]

Before I call the hon. Member for Birmingham, Yardley (John Hemming), I have been asked by Mr Speaker to remind him of his ruling yesterday, when he said:

“I strongly deprecate the abuse of parliamentary privilege to flout an order or score a particular point…It is important…that we recognise the need to temper our privilege with responsibility.”—[Official Report, 23 May 2011; Vol. 528, c. 653-654.]

I trust the hon. Gentleman will not test the patience of the Chair today.
