Charter for Budget Responsibility

Debate between Mark Pritchard and Lindsay Hoyle

Wednesday 26th March 2014 Commons Chamber

[Mark Pritchard]

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. I said that the shadow Chancellor is a fair and reasonable man, and I know he would not want, even unintentionally, to mislead the House. He has got a lot of figures before him, so I have a great deal of sympathy for him, but the fact is that in my constituency of The Wrekin there has been a fall of more than 27% in youth unemployment over the past 12 months.

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

That is a point of correction, rather than of order.

European Union (Croatian Accession and Irish Protocol) Bill

Debate between Mark Pritchard and Lindsay Hoyle

Tuesday 6th November 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mark Pritchard (The Wrekin) (Con)]

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. Just for the record, it was a Conservative amendment that the Labour party supported.

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

As the hon. Gentleman well knows, that is not a point of order. The other thing is that we are getting distracted from what is before us. Rather than being tempted into discussing the decisions of a previous House many years ago, let us get back to Croatia and Ireland.
