Speaker's ruling from Speaker in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 March 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on Local and Regional News.


Local and Regional News

Order. Before the Minister replies, perhaps it would be sensible at this stage to point out to hon. Members that there is still only an hour and a half for this debate. Every intervention extends the Front-Bench speeches, so that they could take up a total of 52 minutes out of the 90, and 12 hon. Members are seeking to speak. I propose now to reduce the time limit to five minutes.
