Speaker's ruling from Speaker in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 March 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Post Office Closures.


Post Office Closures

Order. Before the hon. Gentleman responds, I advise the House that the word ““sneaky”” is just about allowable, as is the right hon. Lady's use of the word ““hypocrisy””. However, we must be extremely careful about the words that we use. I know that hon. Members care very strongly about these matters, but we should nevertheless choose our words with care.
