Points of Order

Shabana Mahmood Excerpts

Wednesday 2nd July 2014 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

Order. May I just say to the hon. Gentleman—and I say it in a cordial spirit—that that was another action replay? We have now had two action replays today, and I must strongly counsel colleagues against raising as attempted, but actually bogus, points of order what are really political points. Otherwise this phenomenon will multiply over the next nine months or so, which is undesirable. The hon. Gentleman has made his point and it is on the record, and we will leave it there—and I am grateful for his nod of assent to my ruling.

[Shabana Mahmood (Birmingham, Ladywood) (Lab)]

Further to that point of order, Mr Speaker—

[Mr Speaker]

There is no further to it, because the point has been made and I have left it there.
