Points of Order

Chris Bryant Excerpts

1st reading: House of Commons
Wednesday 13th June 2018 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

I hope the hon. Lady will understand when I say that all she needs to know, and all the House needs to know, is that the right hon. Member for Ross, Skye and Lochaber is out for the day. You cannot be half in and half out. You cannot come in and out.

[Chris Bryant (Rhondda) (Lab)]

Not like the customs union.

[Mr Speaker]

We are not talking about the customs union. The fact is that the Member is out for the day. He cannot speak today and he cannot vote today. The position has now been made crystal clear.
