Speaker's ruling from Speaker in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 February 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Child Protection.


Child Protection

Order. Perhaps I might venture to say that the matters that we are debating this evening are extremely serious and, too frequently, heart rending. I think that the manner in which we discuss them will be of considerable interest to our constituents, and we should bear that in mind. The time constraints mean that there will now be a six-minute limit on Back Benchers' speeches.
