Points of Order

Oliver Heald Excerpts

Monday 18th February 2019 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

Thank you.

[Sir Oliver Heald (North East Hertfordshire) (Con)]

Further to that point of order, Mr Speaker. I just wanted to mention that I served on the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe with Paul Flynn, and he was highly respected in that body by people from all the countries represented in it—he was a very active member of it. He also teased me in his book, and we used to laugh about that quite a bit. He was a very nice man and a very effective parliamentarian, and I just wanted to put that on the record. Obviously, our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.

[Mr Speaker]

Thank you very much indeed.
