Part of Opposition Day — [15th Allotted Day] — Accident and Emergency – in the House of Commons at 5:15 pm on 18 December 2013.
The organisation of the Bench rota by the Government is a matter for Ministers to decide. I note that the hon. Gentleman regards it as unusual, and that view might be widely shared, but it is not within the power of the Chair to change the situation, even if the Chair were minded to do so. It is beyond my physical powers. Perhaps we can leave it at that.
