Delegated Legislation

Debate between John Spellar and Rosie Winterton

Wednesday 14th November 2018 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Rosie Winterton)]

With the leave of the House, I will take motions 6 and 7 together.

Motion made, and Question put forthwith (Standing Order No. 118(6)),

Exiting the European Union (Financial Services)

That the draft Credit Transfers and Direct Debits in Euro (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018, which were laid before this House on 9 October, be approved.

Exiting the European Union (Financial Services and Markets)

That the draft Electronic Money, Payment Services and Payment Systems (Amendment and Transitional Provisions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018, which were laid before this House on 9 October, be approved.—(Mike Freer.)

Question agreed to.

[John Spellar (Warley) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. Have you or Mr Speaker received any notification from the Government that they intend to make a statement here on the outcome of the talks with the European Union? Rumours are widely circulating that the Prime Minister intends to hold a press conference at 9 o’clock this evening but not to address the House. Have you had any indication that the Government will actually address the democratic heart of the country?

Debate between John Spellar and Rosie Winterton

Tuesday 17th April 2018 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Rosie Winterton)]

I think the Secretary of State was quoting from a letter, but I hope Members are very aware that in all other circumstances he should refer to the Leader of the Opposition not by name, but by constituency.

[John Spellar (Warley) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. Did I hear correctly what the Speaker said in his introduction to the debate, when he specified the number of Members who wanted to speak, and also, I thought, asked the Front-Bench spokesmen collectively to speak for no more than 20 minutes? The Secretary of State has already taken 15 minutes of that time.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

What the Speaker said was that each Front-Bencher should speak for 20 minutes, including interventions. As the right hon. Gentleman says, there are about five minutes left.

Debate between John Spellar and Rosie Winterton

Tuesday 19th December 2017 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Rosie Winterton)]

With the leave of the House, I should like to take motions 6 to 12 together—

[John Spellar (Warley) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. May I suggest that, while some of the motions might be unexceptionable, motions 9 and 10 might excite controversy and that it might therefore be better to take those together, with the others in a different grouping?

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

In that case, I will take them all separately.

Motion made, and Question put forthwith (Standing Order No. 118(6)),
