Speaker's ruling from Speaker in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 March 2012. It occurred during Topical debate and Backbench debate on International Women's Day.


International Women's Day

Greetings to all Members of the House on international women's day. This is such a popular debate that it is necessary to have a five-minute time limit on speeches. If there are interventions, I am afraid that the time limit will have to go lower than five minutes. However, I am sure that we can all co-operate and ensure that everybody who wishes to participate in the debate manages to speak.
