Madam Deputy Speaker (Caroline Nokes)
I thank the hon. Member for his point of order and for having given notice of it. He will be aware that ministerial answers, including the Prime Minister’s, are not a matter for the Chair, but I am sure that Members on the Treasury Bench have heard his comments and that if an error has been made in this instance, the Government will seek to correct it as soon as possible.
Mr Mark Francois (Rayleigh and Wickford) (Con)
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. We have just had a very important statement on an extremely good Defence Committee report. As you have a perfect view of the Chamber from the Chair, could you confirm for the record that throughout the proceeding no Reform Member of Parliament was present?
Madam Deputy Speaker (Caroline Nokes)
The right hon. Member will know that that is not a matter for the Chair. He has put his point on the record.
