Speaker's ruling from Baroness Laing of Elderslie (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 October 2020. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Public Health: Coronavirus Regulations.


Public Health: Coronavirus Regulations

Just before I call the shadow Secretary of State, it will be obvious to the House, both those in the Chamber and those watching around the building, that I have more than 80 people who are trying to catch my eye and that we have until 6 pm to conclude the debate. I am afraid that, in order to be fair to everybody, because I appreciate that this is not an occasion for long-thought-out speeches on matters of principle, but on matters to do with individual constituencies, and to try to give as many people from as many parts of the country as possible the chance to contribute, we will start with a time limit of three minutes.

2.47 pm
