Points of Order

John Bercow Excerpts

Tuesday 20th November 2012 Commons Chamber

[Ian Paisley (North Antrim) (DUP)]

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Legendarily brief though my point of order will be, it is about an anniversary of something that is legendarily long—65 years is a milestone by anyone’s reckoning. Could the House find some way to pass on its congratulations to Her Majesty the Queen on achieving 65 years of wedded bliss?

[Mr Speaker]

The hon. Gentleman has just done so, with admirable grace and succinctness. We thank him.

[Robert Halfon (Harlow) (Con)]

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. For the avoidance of doubt, when I asked the Foreign Secretary my question I should have referred Members to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests.

[Mr Speaker]

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for putting that on the record.
