Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill

Lindsay Hoyle Excerpts

Tuesday 24th April 2012 Commons Chamber

[Glenda Jackson (Hampstead and Kilburn) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. The Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport has announced on Radio 4 within the last hour that he will make a statement to the House this afternoon, presumably arising from the contributions made to the Leveson inquiry. Has he made that request to you, has it been granted, and if so when will the House hear the statement?

No message has been conveyed to me, and I know nothing of it.
