Jo Churchill Excerpts

Thursday 4th July 2019 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

Order. I want to take this opportunity—I hope the House will join me as I do so—to congratulate the hon. Member for Bristol West (Thangam Debbonaire) and the other three members of the string quartet known as Statutory Instruments on their magnificent performance in Speaker’s House on Tuesday lunchtime; it was a virtuoso display of outstanding music—stirring, inspiring and admirable in every way. If you haven’t heard them, you haven’t lived.

[Jo Churchill (Bury St Edmunds) (Con)]

Particularly the cellist.

[Mr Speaker]

Yes, particularly the cellist, as the Government Whip on duty chunters from a sedentary position to very considerable public benefit.
