Speaker's ruling from Speaker in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 January 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Out-of-Hours Care.


Out-of-Hours Care

I inform the House that Mr. Speaker has selected the amendment in the name of the Prime Minister. Before we start the debate, I should remind the House that an inquest is still taking place into the death of Mr. David Gray and the role in that death of Dr. Daniel Ubani. The House's sub judice rule prevents us from debating the matters awaiting decision in the courts. There must, therefore, be no direct reference to that particular case this afternoon. When the inquest is over, there will be opportunities for Members to raise the issue and the lessons learned in the House. May I also advise the House that an eight-minute time limit will be imposed on Back-Bench contributions?
