Debate between Lord Lilley and Lindsay Hoyle

Wednesday 26th February 2014 Commons Chamber

[Mr Lilley]

Will the hon. Lady clarify—

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

Order. I think the hon. Lady has finished her speech, which is helpful because I am sure Members would like to hear from the Minister as well.

Debate between Lord Lilley and Lindsay Hoyle

Thursday 16th January 2014 Commons Chamber

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

Order. I think that the Leader of the House has got the gist of the right hon. Gentleman’s question.

[Mr Lilley]

rose—

[Mr Deputy Speaker]

Order. I am sorry, but I am sure that the Leader of the House will manage to construct an answer from what the right hon. Gentleman has said.

Debate between Lord Lilley and Lindsay Hoyle

Wednesday 19th December 2012 Commons Chamber

[Hon. Members]

She?

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

Order. If the right hon. Gentleman wants to make a point, he must stand up and do so to the Chair, not from a sedentary position. He should know better after so long in the House.

[Mr Lilley]

Is it in order to refer to hon. Members who oppose the speaker as not honourable?

[Mr Deputy Speaker]

It was a general reference.

[Mr Lilley]

It was not.

[Mr Deputy Speaker]

I am telling the right hon. Gentleman. When he says “she”, that is not acceptable language either. It is Christmas; we ought to give a little more humble time to each other, and certainly we do not want the debate to deteriorate. I hope we will have no further interventions from either side in that manner.
