Delegated Legislation

Tom Brake Excerpts

Wednesday 14th November 2018 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

I take the hon. Gentleman’s point. I was merely saying what the options were, and the option does remain for a statement to be made if the Adjournment went on until 7 o’clock.

[Tom Brake (Carshalton and Wallington) (LD)]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. You helpfully clarified that the Adjournment could continue until 7 o’clock tonight, should the Government wish to come and make a statement. It may be that not everyone present has prepared a speech that is relevant to the Adjournment debate on police employer pension contributions that will take place, so would you allow some leniency, scope and flexibility in the contributions that Members might wish to make to that debate?

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

Members can speak, but they have to speak to the subject of the debate. Their remarks must obviously be related to police employer pension contributions.
