Speaker's ruling from Speaker in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 March 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Equitable Life.


Equitable Life

Order. Before I call the hon. Member for Twickenham (Dr. Cable), I had better advise the House that the 15-minute limit on Back-Bench speeches is no longer appropriate in the light of the numbers of hon. Members seeking to catch my eye, so I give notice that it will be reduced to nine minutes.
