Point of Order

Nusrat Ghani Excerpts

Tuesday 3rd November 2026 Commons Chamber

[Daisy Cooper (St Albans) (LD)]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. The right hon. and learned Member for Fareham and Waterlooville (Suella Braverman) claimed twice during today’s debate that 27 young non-EU migrants have been hired for every young Brit since 2020, but the reality is very different. The report that the right hon. and learned Member was referring to has been debunked. If the actual numbers of employed young people, not the increases in the number of payrolled young people, are used, 10 UK under-25s are employed for every one non-EU national. I ask for your advice, Madam Deputy Speaker, on how Members of this House can be asked to correct the record.

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Ms Nusrat Ghani)]

I am grateful to the hon. Member for giving notice of her point of order. I take it that she informed the right hon. and learned Member for Fareham and Waterlooville before referring to her.

indicated assent.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

I can see that the hon. Lady is nodding. The Chair is not responsible for the accuracy of hon. Members’ speeches, and any Member who wants to correct the record should contact Hansard. The hon. Lady has most definitely got her point on the record.
