Speaker's ruling from John Bercow (Speaker) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 February 2017. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill.
European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill
Order. More than 80 right hon. and hon. Members still wish to contribute to the debate over the ensuing five hours, in consequence of which it is necessary, with immediate effect, to impose a time limit on Back-Bench speeches of four minutes. I am trying to ensure that everybody has a chance, on top of those who have already had their opportunity. It would be helpful if those who have already spoken were to refrain from intervening, because such self-restraint might increase opportunities for others. I am sure that all colleagues are concerned about others. I call Yvette Cooper.
