Point of Order

Lindsay Hoyle Excerpts

Thursday 27th March 2014 Commons Chamber

[Sheila Gilmore (Edinburgh East) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. Have you received any notification from the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions or any of his Ministers that they propose to make an oral statement to this House on the early exit of Atos from the contract for work capability assessments? That is a matter of concern to many Members of this House, and I thought that perhaps we could hear whether there has been such an application.

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

We can rest assured that I have not been give any such notice. I am sure that people will already be listening, and the matter is certainly on the record.
