Local Government (Review of Decisions) Bill

Debate between Lindsay Hoyle and Mark Spencer

Friday 24th October 2014 Commons Chamber

[Mr Spencer]

Before my hon. Friend moves away from donkeys, I should draw the House’s attention to the fact that this could be the first time that donkeys have featured in debates on two consecutive Bills. I wonder whether the fact that we are prevented from bringing hot beverages into the Chamber is a health and safety issue, or whether it prevents Members from having our own little picnic and not concentrating on the business of the day.

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

I can assure the hon. Gentleman that that is not the case.
