Speaker's ruling from Speaker in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 May 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on Sri Lanka.


Sri Lanka

Order. Mr. Speaker had imposed an eight-minute time limit on Back-Bench contributions, but since then further Members have indicated a wish to contribute to the debate. I therefore regret to say that in order to try to accommodate everyone, I will reduce Back-Benchers' speaking time to six minutes.
