Speaker's ruling from Speaker in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 February 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Royal Mail.
Royal Mail
Order. I remind the House that Mr. Speaker has placed a limit of eight minutes on Back-Bench speeches. It is fairly obvious that, given the time available, that will restrict the number of Members whom I am able to call, so I propose to try to ease the situation by reducing the limit to six minutes for all Members called after 6 pm.
