Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill

Clive Lewis Excerpts

Consideration of Lords amendments
Monday 18th March 2024 Commons Chamber

[Clive Lewis (Norwich South) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. I put on record my apologies to the Chair, to Members, and to members of staff for an earlier outburst that I had. Let me very quickly explain. I received a message that caused me some consternation and surprise, to which I made an outburst in general at no one specifically. If I could do it again, I probably would have said something like, “My giddy aunt!” rather than what did come out of my mouth, and for that I apologise. To clear the air, I put on record the fact that it was directed at no one in particular.

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Sir Roger Gale)]

I appreciate the hon. Gentleman’s candour in identifying himself and the fullness of his apology, which is accepted.
