John Bercow
Main Page: John Bercow (Speaker - Buckingham)I must inform the House that I have selected the amendment in the name of the Leader of the Opposition.
I hope it is a genuine point of order. I say that as much in hope as in expectation, but let us hear from the hon. Lady.
The point of order is this, Mr Speaker. The Secretary of State speaks again and again about the Bill’s importance in relation to London, but will not take any interventions from any London Members on the Opposition Benches.
The hon. Lady has, in a sense, advertised the claims of London Members, and I am sure that they will be at the forefront of the Secretary of State’s mind.
The record will show, Mr Speaker, that I have been generous in giving way to London Members, including the Labour mayoral candidate. If that does not illustrate a fair approach, I do not know what does.
