Mr Speaker
Order. 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.
Mr Peter Bone (Wellingborough) (Con)
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?
Chris Grayling
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.
