Speaker's ruling from Speaker in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 March 2012. It occurred during Emergency debate on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

Order. The Secretary of State has indicated that he wishes to speak later in the debate—[Interruption.] Order. That is his absolute prerogative. In view of the level of interest in the debate, it will be helpful for the House to know at this point that a five-minute limit on Back-Bench speeches is to be imposed immediately. I call Dr Daniel Poulter.
