Points of Order

Nusrat Ghani Excerpts

Monday 3rd November 2025 Commons Chamber

[Ruth Cadbury (Brentford and Isleworth) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. May I ask that the record be corrected? I inadvertently mentioned Avanti West Coast. I must have been thinking of the derailment, and not the tragic incident, which of course was on LNER.

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Ms Nusrat Ghani)]

I thank the hon. Member. The correction is now duly on the record.

[Jim Shannon (Strangford) (DUP)]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

Is it really a point of order?

[Jim Shannon]

You will tell me whether it is or not, Madam Deputy Speaker. In my constituency, a young man was killed in Portavogie today in a knife attack. I think it would be in order to mention that there and perhaps the House would join me in prayers—

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

Order. That is very important, but we cannot continue the statement, which has concluded.

[Chris Philp (Croydon South) (Con)]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I think the Home Secretary may have misheard me during my question. I was saying that I was not concerned about the disproportionality of stop and search, because when we compare its use with the offending population, there is no disproportionality. I was encouraging further use of the tactic. I wanted to make sure the Home Secretary had heard and received that message.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

The shadow Home Secretary has most definitely got that on the record.
