Commons ChamberOn a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. The Leader of the House just called into question my behaviour when I raised the very serious allegations of bullying and manhandling that I witnessed in the voting Lobby last night. That is not appropriate. Can you assure me that there will be a proper and full investigation into this serious matter, and do you agree that that was an inappropriate response?
Mr Speaker has already made an announcement that there is to be an investigation.

Commons ChamberMy hon. Friend is making an incredibly powerful speech, and I thank her for raising this issue and making all these important points. Does she agree that in Wales we have a Welsh Government who have put BSL at the centre of the new curriculum in Wales, putting it on a statutory footing to ensure that the language is there and prominent?
Order. Can I remind everyone to please face forward when speaking so that the microphones can pick you up and everyone can hear?

Commons ChamberI just could not let that go, sorry. Notwithstanding this Bill, which does look to streamline certain issues, there are many Brexit-related issues up and down the country, in our businesses and at our borders. I do not think the hon. Member can justify the comments she just made.
The good news is, this is not a debate about Brexit. I do not mind passing references to it, but let us not turn the debate into something that it is not.
