Oral Answers to Questions

John Bercow Excerpts

Wednesday 14th January 2015 Commons Chamber

[The Prime Minister]

I am all for these debates taking place, but you cannot have—[Interruption.]

[Mr Speaker]

Order. The question has been asked, and the answer must be heard.

[The Prime Minister]

I am all for these debates, but you cannot have two minor parties without the third minor party. So I put the question to the right hon. Gentleman: why is he so frightened of debating with the Green party?

--- Later in debate ---

[Mr Slaughter]

On a point of order, Mr Speaker.

[Mr Speaker]

Order. The hon. Gentleman is a very experienced Member. He must know by now that points of order come after statements. In any case, I always enjoy saving up the hon. Gentleman for later.
