On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. Yesterday, the Chancellor incorrectly stated that, on Second Reading, Green party MPs

“voted against the Planning and Infrastructure Bill”—[Official Report, 26 March 2025; Vol. 764, c. 971.]

In fact, none of us did that. How can the Chancellor’s inaccurate statement be corrected on the record, given that she has inadvertently misrepresented the voting record of other hon. Members?

I thank the hon. Member for giving notice of her point of order. The Chair is not responsible for the content of Ministers’ contributions, but I am sure that the hon. Member’s concern has been heard on the Government Benches, and it is now on the record. If an error has been made in this instance, I am sure that the Chancellor will seek to correct it as quickly as possible.
