Affordable Homes Bill

Debate between Baroness Primarolo and Lord Robathan

Friday 5th September 2014 Commons Chamber

[Mr Andrew Robathan (South Leicestershire) (Con)]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. Given the importance of this measure and the fact that there is obviously very great interest in it, I beg to move that the Bill be committed to a Committee of the whole House.

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Dawn Primarolo)]

That is not in order. The relevant Standing Order has been used, and the House has given its view, so I do not accept that.

Debate between Baroness Primarolo and Lord Robathan

Thursday 18th October 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mr Robathan]

The hon. Gentleman did not explain at all; he just said that he would not take any interventions. I can see the piece of paper there. Perhaps he would like to read what it says—

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dawn Primarolo)]

Order. I can probably help the Minister on this. The hon. Member for North Durham (Mr Jones) was under the impression that he was time-limited, which of course was not the case. That was not down to any information that he had at the time; it was while he was speaking that he believed he was time-limited. The Minister will have a slightly longer time. Perhaps we can sort this out across the Dispatch Box.

[Mr Robathan]

Of course, Madam Deputy Speaker.

The hon. Gentleman knows that the previous Chief Secretary to the Treasury, the right hon. Member for Birmingham, Hodge Hill (Mr Byrne), left a note saying that there was no money, and there is no money. We are working on producing a detailed analysis of the money, which will be made available to the Defence Committee at some stage. I am not quite sure where we have got to on that.
