Hillsborough

John Bercow Excerpts

Monday 22nd October 2012 Commons Chamber

[Several hon. Members]

rose—

[Mr Speaker]

Order. Understandably, there is intense interest in this debate. In recognition of that, I have had to impose a time limit of 10 minutes on each Back-Bench contribution. I emphasise to the House that, depending on progress, that time limit might, during the course of the debate, need to be reviewed.

--- Later in debate ---

Motion lapsed (Standing Order No. 9(3)).

[Mr Speaker]

Order. I have not put the Question, because the motion has lapsed. I have listened with great respect to what the Secretary of State has said. I think that those attending to our debate can take it that the House has considered the matter of the Hillsborough independent panel report. I thank the Secretary of State and all colleagues for taking part in the debate.
