“Before we continue, I advise the House that there is a technical fault with the pass reader system for voting. It is still working, but it is slow to start at the beginning of each Division. The Clerks are looking into it, but I ask Members to wait for the readers to activate before trying to vote.”
“83H(2)), That a Committee be appointed to draw up Reasons to be assigned to the Lords for disagreeing with their amendments 6, 11, 12, 311, 334, 339, 357, 359, 439 and 505; That Sarah Jones, Stephen Morgan, Adam Thompson, Matt Bishop, Alex McIntyre, Matt Vickers and Clive Jones be members of the Committee; That Sarah Jones be the Chair of the Committee; That three be the quorum of the Committee.

“Order. I must inform Members that unfortunately the pass readers in the Lobbies are not working. Clerks will shortly take their place at the Division desks in the Lobby to record Members’ names on paper. Members who have already voted will have had their names recorded. We are ready to resume the Division. Members who have not yet voted should pass through the Lobby to give their names to the Clerks. If a Member has already been through the Lobby in this Division, their vote has been counted and they should not pass through the Lobby again. If Members are in any doubt about whether their name has been recorded, they should email the Public Bill Office. The House having divided: Ayes 301, Noes 157. [ Division No. 471 , 7.31 pm ] Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendment 333 disagreed to.”
“I thank the hon. Member for giving notice of his point of order. Freedom of information requests are not a matter for the Chair, but it is important that Members receive timely answers to their parliamentary questions. His point will no doubt be drawn to the attention of the Leader of the House, who will be able to pursue the matter.”
“I inform the House that Lords amendments 1 to 12 engage the Commons’ financial privilege. If any of these Lords amendments are agreed to, I will cause the customary entry waiving the Commons’ financial privilege to be entered in the Journal . Clause 1 Employer pensions contributions pursuant to optional remuneration arrangements: Great Britain”
“I thank the right hon. Gentleman for his point of order. In exchanges during business questions and other proceedings in the Chamber, to which I think he refers, the context in which a question is asked is important. Where a question relates directly to a matter in another Member’s constituency, I encourage Members to show courtesy and let the Member know.”
“Order. I want to hear what the Secretary of State has to say. I am also certain that constituents want to hear him. This is a very important statement.”
“I have to notify the House, in accordance with the Royal Assent Act 1967, that His Majesty has signified his Royal Assent to the following Acts: Supply and Appropriation (Anticipation and Adjustments) Act 2026 Finance Act 2026 House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Act 2026 Universal Credit (Removal of Two Child Limit) Act 2026 Industry and Exports (Financial Assistance) Act 2026.”
“Order. Members are being very generous with their time, but I remind them that I will be starting the Front-Bench speeches at about 6.40 pm, and we still have four more Back Benchers left to speak.”
“I thank the right hon. Member for notice of his point of order. It is not a matter for the Chair, but he has put his point on the record. If he has concerns about compliance with the law, he may wish to consult the Information Commissioner.”
“I thank the hon. Member for his point of order. You may not be aware of a previous point of order from your right hon. Friend the Member for Hayes and Harlington (John McDonnell), but you have put your point on the record. If you have any concerns about compliance with the law, you may wish to consult the Information Commissioner.”
“Order. I remind the House that what we are discussing—and what is in scope—is the number of ministerial appointments, not the salaries of Ministers.”
“Before we come to the urgent question on the Government’s response to the Humble Address, I would like to remind the House that Peter Mandelson is the subject of an ongoing police investigation. However, no charges have been brought. The sub judice resolution, therefore, does not currently apply. In that context, it is up to Ministers how they reply, but the House’s rules do not prevent them from answering fully. None the less, I know that the House would not wish to do anything that risked prejudicing the investigation, so I gently say to Members that it would be helpful to exercise a degree of restraint in referencing the specific matters under investigation.”
“I thank the hon. Member for his point of order. While the occupant of the Chair is not responsible for Ministers’ words, I would expect any Minister to return to the House to correct omission, although that is a matter for those on the Treasury Bench and not for the Chair.”
“Before we come to the statement on heating oil support, I must note my disappointment about briefings to the media before important announcements are brought to this House. It shows a deep discourtesy to this House and its Members and a worrying pattern of behaviour from the Government. As the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee has stated, “making the most important statements in the first instance to Parliament means doing so before they are made to the media and not at the first available opportunity thereafter”. The requirement to come to this House is set out in the Government’s own rules, in their ministerial code, and they must do better. Furthermore, a statement of this importance ought to have been made by the Secretary of State, and I am sorry that the Minister has been put in this position.”
“Order. The previous occupant of the Chair reminded Members that we need to start Front-Bench speeches at around half-past 4. If the remaining Members could keep their comments to around five minutes, that would be very helpful.”
“I thank the hon. Member for her point of order. Her interests are now on the record. I now call, to make a very quick speech, Calvin Bailey.”
