Speaker's ruling from Speaker in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 January 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Dementia Services.


Dementia Services

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for his point of order. I will respond as follows, and I hope this is helpful to the House. First, of course, responsibility for the registration of interests rests with individual Members. Secondly—I listened very carefully to what the hon. Gentleman said—if any Member has anxieties or is discontented about the conduct of another Member, the Member who is dissatisfied should complain to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. At this very tense and competitive time, I should hope that Members would not air these matters on the Floor of the House when they are matters not for the Chair, but for the Registrar of Members' Interests and the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. If Mr. O'Brien wishes to respond to the point of order, he is welcome to do so, but he is not under any obligation to do so.
