Sovereign Grant Bill

I know I have talked out several Bills in the past, but I did it by moving a debate on the writ for the Brecon and Radnor by-election and the Richmond by-election and all the rest of it. But now you have stopped me doing it, Mr Deputy Speaker. What I have to say is that here we are at a time of welfare reform, inflation and all the rest of it, and suddenly, in one day, the House of Commons changes its whole attitude and says, ““We've got enough money. The royal family need more to live on.”” And what does it do? It votes for it. Well, if I can find another teller, I'll be voting against. Thank you very much.
