European Convention on Human Rights

Debate between Mark Reckless and Nigel Evans

Tuesday 19th June 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mark Reckless]

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Nigel Evans)]

Family Migration

Debate between Mark Reckless and Nigel Evans

Monday 11th June 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Nigel Evans)]

Order. I remind the House that in order to ask a question about the statement, a Member must have been in the Chamber to listen to it.

[Mark Reckless (Rochester and Strood) (Con)]

European Union Bill

Debate between Mark Reckless and Nigel Evans

Tuesday 11th January 2011 Commons Chamber

[Mark Reckless]

On a point of order, Mr Evans. Would it be appropriate for the right hon. Gentleman to address his remarks to the amendment?

[The First Deputy Chairman of Ways and Means (Mr Nigel Evans)]

I am listening carefully to Mr MacShane, and if he is out of order, I will call him out of order.
