Points of Order

Lord Soames of Fletching Excerpts

Monday 30th January 2017 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

I am grateful to the hon. Lady for her point of order and for giving me the courtesy of advance notice of it. The right hon. Gentleman is in his place and of course I would want to hear from him.

[Sir Nicholas Soames (Mid Sussex) (Con)]

Further to that point of order, Mr Speaker. Like you, I thank the hon. Lady for her kindness in warning me that she was going to complain of this. I thought that in her question to the Foreign Secretary she snapped at him a bit at the end, so I offered her a friendly canine salute in return. No offence was intended, and I apologise to the hon. Lady if she was offended. [Interruption.]

[Mr Speaker]

Order. I think we should leave it there. I thank the right hon. Gentleman for what he has said.
