Comprehensive Spending Review

Tony Cunningham Excerpts

Thursday 28th October 2010 Commons Chamber

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

[Tony Cunningham (Workington) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Why was no decision made about whether the debate that we had been having all afternoon had gone on long enough?

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Nigel Evans)]

The rules of the House dictate that once the debate has gone past 6 o’clock it finishes and we move on to the Adjournment debate.
