Nigel Evans Excerpts

Tuesday 26th March 2013 Commons Chamber

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Nigel Evans)]

Thank you for keeping your remarks short so that we can have as many speakers as possible in the next general debate. If everybody turns up, there are 28 Members who would like to contribute to the David Amess debate—[Laughter.] I mean the general debate. We will start with a five-minute limit on speeches, but if we need to we will reduce it to four minutes so that everybody can at least get in and get something on the record before the Easter recess.

General Matters

--- Later in debate ---

[Jason McCartney]

I thank my hon. Friend for his intervention, but the cyclists will be very tired by the time they get to his constituency because they will have taken the long climb up Holme Moss to the top of the Pennines, where it is very picturesque.

I will leave Members with all those positive things going on in my constituency. It is really important, given all the doom-mongers, to celebrate things and back business, enterprise and entrepreneurs. Let us also back apprentices and Yorkshire.

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Nigel Evans)]

We all now know what we will be doing on 6 July 2014.
