Deputy Speakers

Nigel Evans Excerpts

Thursday 23rd February 2023 Commons Chamber

[Brendan Clarke-Smith (Bassetlaw) (Con)]

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker.

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Nigel Evans)]

Mr Clarke-Smith, am I correct in thinking that the point of order you wish to make is in relation to a shooting incident in Northern Ireland recently?

[Brendan Clarke-Smith]

It is.

[Mr Deputy Speaker]

In which case, let me say that I will take no points of order on that matter, and, owing to the sensitivities of the nature of that case and the ongoing police investigation, I certainly will not make a ruling on that issue from the Chair, other than to say that I am sure that the thoughts of all of us in this House are with John Caldwell and his family, and that our grateful thanks go to those who assisted him with first aid at the scene of the incident.
