Mr Peter Bone (Wellingborough) (Con)
On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. This is about the extremely offensive remark made by the shadow Leader of the House, to whom I have given notice, about me and some other Members at business questions. She accused us of being Taliban, and at a time when the brave men and women of our armed forces are fighting these evil people, and some of us have very close personal relationships with people serving in Afghanistan, I found that to be a completely objectionable remark. I wonder whether there is any way in which it could be withdrawn.
Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)
Would the hon. Member for Dunfermline and West Fife (Thomas Docherty) like to comment on that before I make a ruling?
