Points of Order

Kevin Brennan Excerpts

Monday 7th January 2013 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

I note what the hon. Gentleman tells me, but I know that he will appreciate that the programme motion for such matters is not a matter for me. He may be very genuinely concerned about the length of time available for debate on these issues and his concerns will have been heard, but, to put it bluntly, there is nothing I can do about it now and I am not sure that there is anything I can do about it at any stage. However, he has vented his displeasure and I hope that that at least gives him some satisfaction.

[Kevin Brennan (Cardiff West) (Lab)]

And he is in agreement with the heir to the throne for the first time in 200 years.

[Mr Speaker]

Order. We are always grateful to the hon. Gentleman for his helpful observations from a sedentary position, but we will come now to the main business.
