Point of Order

John Bercow Excerpts

Thursday 1st December 2011 Commons Chamber

[Paul Flynn (Newport West) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. May I take this first opportunity to express my regret that in my excitement at being called early in topical questions, I inadvertently referred to the Secretary of State instead of the Minister of State, thereby denying the Minister of State the opportunity to explain how his green crusade is not only one of exhortation but of example? I express my regret to both of them.

[Mr Speaker]

I am extremely grateful to the hon. Gentleman for that very courteous clarification.
