Commons ChamberOrder. I am looking to conclude business questions by 11.45, so if we are to accommodate everyone, we must have very short questions and answers.
At 4.25 pm yesterday in Westminster Hall, a unique event took place. For the first time, a question in Westminster Hall was not agreed to. Under subsection (13) of Standing Order No. 10, a motion should be brought to the House in those circumstances so that the House can then vote on it without further debate. I listened carefully when the Leader of the House announced the business for next week, but I did not hear him mention any such motion. Was that an omission that he would like to correct now?
I am aware of what took place yesterday, and I will be happy to discuss the matter with the Clerks and to write to my hon. Friend.
