Point of Order

16:42:00

On a point of order, Mr Speaker.

Points of order should come after statements, as you well know, Sir Roger, unless this is specifically about this point.

Well, in that case—I knew you knew better than me.

Were you given any indication as to why the Secretary of State was not here to answer the urgent question, Mr Speaker?

Absolutely not. I granted the urgent question because I know how important the issue is, including to my good farmers in Chorley.
