- Bills Presented: Education and Health (19 Nov 2009)

- Bills Presented: Education and Health (19 Nov 2009)
John Bercow: Order. I just remind the hon. Gentleman that Ministers should be referred to by their title and, perhaps, by their constituency, but not by their name, unless the hon. Gentleman is quoting directly from a newspaper article.
- Bills Presented: Education and Health (19 Nov 2009)
John Bercow: That is not a point of order for the Chair, as the hon. Gentleman knows perfectly well. It is a point about the expression of frustration.
- Business of the House (19 Nov 2009)
John Bercow: Order. I think we have the thrust of it, but I say to the Leader of the House that I know she is sufficiently dextrous to be able to answer the question without trespassing on territory for the Opposition. She is responsible, of course, for the position of the Government.
- Business of the House (19 Nov 2009)
John Bercow: I call Mr. Andrew Robathan.
- Business of the House (19 Nov 2009)

- Outlawries Bill: Debate on the Address — [1st Day] (18 Nov 2009)

- Outlawries Bill: Debate on the Address — [1st Day] (18 Nov 2009)
John Bercow: Order. I say to the hon. Member for Blaby (Mr. Robathan), the Opposition deputy Chief Whip, that after 17 years in the House, he knows that he has to set an example to others. He has a responsibility to behave with some dignity, and he ought to start now.
- Outlawries Bill: Debate on the Address — [1st Day] (18 Nov 2009)
John Bercow: Order. I apologise for interrupting the right hon. Gentleman, but there is far too much chuntering from a sedentary position taking place on the Government Back Benches and, I am sorry to say, on the Front Benches. The Leader of the Opposition must be heard.

For greater accuracy I have obtained a copy, and also directed that the terms of the Speech be printed in the Journal of this House. Copies are being made available...
- Prorogation (12 Nov 2009)
John Bercow: The Commission was also for proroguing this present Parliament, and the Chancellor of the Duchy said: "My Lords and Members of the House of Commons: By virtue of Her Majesty's Commission which has now been read, we do, in Her Majesty's name, and in obedience to Her Majesty's Commands, prorogue this Parliament to Wednesday the eighteenth day of this instant November to be then here holden, and...
- Coroners and Justice Bill: Schedule 1 — Duty or power to suspend or resume investigations (12 Nov 2009)
John Bercow: Order. The hon. Member for Somerton and Frome (Mr. Heath) has been extremely brief so far in his remarks—this is in no way a criticism—but I am conscious that some Back-Bench Members want not merely to intervene but perhaps to make speeches, if there is time. We have until 1 o'clock to consider this matter. The Lord Chancellor's views will be sought shortly, and I hope that...

- Points of Order (12 Nov 2009) has video
John Bercow: I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for his observations. I think that he knows that that is not a point of order for the Chair, but what he has said is clearly on the record. If he wishes to raise a privilege complaint, he should indeed write to me.
- Points of Order (12 Nov 2009) has video
John Bercow: I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for his point of order. I fear that again it does not constitute a point of order but rather a point of legitimate and understandable frustration. The hon. Gentleman's point essentially focuses on delay and inaccessibility, and it is a point that is often made by right hon. and hon. Members. He has underlined it very clearly, and the people about whom he is...
- Points of Order (12 Nov 2009) has video
John Bercow: I think that the House will agree that that is a very helpful response to the point of order.
- Points of Order (12 Nov 2009) has video
John Bercow: I have no responsibility for the matter. It might be a matter of considerable sadness that I have no responsibility for it, but that nevertheless is the position. I suspect that the hon. Gentleman has underlined not only a personal concern but a concern that will be more widely shared throughout the House. As an immensely assiduous and perspicacious parliamentarian, he should use all the...
