Points of Order

Robert Halfon Excerpts

Thursday 3rd July 2014 Commons Chamber

[Sir William Cash (Stone) (Con)]

On a point of order, Mr Speaker.

[Robert Halfon (Harlow) (Con)]

rose—

[Mr Speaker]

The Leader of the House is in his place and I have a sense that the point of order from the hon. Member for Stone (Sir William Cash) is of a pressing topical character, so we will take it now before we come to the Select Committee statements.

--- Later in debate ---

[Mr Speaker]

It would seem churlish and unkind not to allow the hon. Member for Harlow (Robert Halfon) to make his point of order.

[Robert Halfon]

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Following the question from the right hon. Member for Manchester, Gorton (Sir Gerald Kaufman), I fear that the wrong impression has been given to the House. The Israeli Prime Minister and the mayor of Jerusalem condemned the death of the Palestinian in Israel in the last few days. There is absolutely no evidence that that atrocity was carried out by an Israeli.

[Mr Speaker]

We are grateful to the hon. Gentleman. His point is on the record.
