Points of Order

Tim Yeo Excerpts

Monday 26th January 2015 Commons Chamber

[Mr Tim Yeo (South Suffolk) (Con)]

Further to that point of order, Mr Speaker.

[Mr Speaker]

Directly on this point of order?

[Mr Yeo]

Yes, directly, Mr Speaker. You made reference to two Select Committee reports, one from the Environmental Audit Committee and one from the Transport Committee, directly relevant to this Bill. May I also draw the House’s attention to the fact that my Energy and Climate Change Committee has reported twice in detail on the specific issue of shale gas and fracking?

[Mr Speaker]

I was not aware of that, though far be it from me to dispute the assiduity of the hon. Gentleman. It was of course open to him and his Committee to have put that on the Order Paper. For whatever reason, it did not, but the hon. Gentleman, in prime time and with some alacrity, has now sought to remedy that deficiency.
