Text

Further to that point of order, Mr Speaker. You will know that, this week — of course, you will not know about last week — efforts were made in the Business Committee to curtail Members in the House from speaking. We made a commitment today that we would give an assurance to the House that this would be finished tonight. There are six Members left who want to be heard in relation to what has to be said from these Benches. However, the proposer of the Bill has tried for the past two weeks to curtail our contributions. Each of us is elected here in our own right, and our constituents deserve to hear our views on the matter.
