Speaker's ruling from Speaker in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 January 2012. It occurred during Backbench debate on Future of Town Centres and High Streets.


Future of Town Centres and High Streets

Order. Given that a number of Members wish to catch the eye of the Chair, I shall now reduce the time limit to five minutes. I want to ensure that everyone can contribute, so I ask Members to exercise some restraint in interventions. Members who wish both to intervene and to speak will be placed lower on the list. Let me reassure Members that I want to treat everyone as fairly as possible.
