Debate between Nigel Evans and Jack Straw

Monday 20th February 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Nigel Evans)]

I call Mr Jack Straw. The same unofficial time guidelines still apply.

[Mr Jack Straw (Blackburn) (Lab)]

Do I understand you correctly that the time limit is now on, Mr Deputy Speaker?

[Mr Deputy Speaker]

It is not yet official.

Debate between Nigel Evans and Jack Straw

Wednesday 24th November 2010 Commons Chamber

[Mr Straw]

It is the first time that I have ever been thanked for anything by a member of the Scottish National party. I hope that next April and May it says on every leaflet how deeply grateful the SNP is for the possibility and opportunity to serve in a Scottish Government and to enjoy all the rewards that have come its way from the money that the British people, of all parties, have provided.

[The First Deputy Chairman of Ways and Means]

Order. The right hon. Gentleman said that he had some rules. Could he have another rule, which is to speak to the amendments in the group?

[Mr Straw]

I am sorry that I digressed, Mr Evans.

[Mr Straw]

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. Will you confirm that, as “Erskine May” makes very clear, when a Minister seeks to quote in detail from a document, it must be laid on the Table of the House?

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Nigel Evans)]

I understand that “Erskine May” states that, but how much detail has just been given is open to debate. I call Mr Clegg.
