Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Welfare Reform (Disabled People)

John Bercow Excerpts

Tuesday 28th October 2014 Commons Chamber

[Several hon. Members]

rose—

[Mr Speaker]

Order. A great many hon. and right hon. Members are seeking to catch my eye, as a consequence of which, I have had to impose a six-minute limit on Back-Bench speeches. However, we are about to hear a maiden speech, so the House will understand why I have decided that the limit should apply after the first two speeches from the Back Benches.

--- Later in debate ---

[Hon. Members]

Hear, hear.

[Mr Speaker]

We are extremely grateful to the hon. Lady. We enjoyed her speech, and we will now hear from Sir George Young.
