Proceeding contribution from Speaker in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on Standards and Privileges.
Standards and Privileges
I have known the hon. Gentleman for 30 years, and I do not think that I have the power to silence him. I do not think I have been able to do that. All I am saying is that the House has given me a set of rules that I must abide by, and see that they are enforced. It is not an attempt to gag the hon. Gentleman, but he must abide by the rules that Parliament has given me. I am the custodian of the rules, even in a situation such as this.
