Madam Deputy Speaker (Judith Cummins)
I thank the right hon. Gentleman for his point of order. I refer him to my answer to the previous point of order. It is not a point of order and not a matter for the Chair, but it is a matter of debate.
Graham Stuart (Beverley and Holderness) (Con)

Madam Deputy Speaker (Judith Cummins)

Graham Stuart

It is not enough simply to tell the truth; there has to be a duty of candour. Can you, Madam Deputy Speaker, share with the House whether the sponsoring Minister, the Justice Secretary, has decided to remove himself as the sponsor of that Bill?
Madam Deputy Speaker (Judith Cummins)
I thank the right hon. Gentleman for his point of order; it is not a point of order, but a point of argument.
