Proceeding contribution from Speaker in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 March 2007. It occurred during Legislative debate on UK Borders Bill.


UK Borders Bill

Order. We cannot have too many points of order as a surrogate for a debate on the matter. Let me try to deal with the points that have been raised. The right hon. Member for Maidstone and The Weald (Miss Widdecombe) asked whether I had received any representations or requests. The answer is no. In answer to the right hon. Lady and the hon. Member for Mid-Worcestershire (Peter Luff), the Chair has no power to determine what is on the Order Paper. I can only preside over what has been included in it. I understand that all is procedurally correct and we must proceed on that basis.
