Speaker's ruling from Speaker in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on Defence in the UK.


Defence in the UK

Order. Before I call the next hon. Member to speak, may I say to the House that a 15-minute limit on Back-Bench speeches applies from now on? Clearly, time is running out, and a lot of hon. Members are seeking to catch my eye. Therefore, if hon. Members can take less than their allotted time span, it would be most helpful not just to me but to other colleagues.
