Recent appearances

• Mental Health Units (Use of Force) Bill: Training in appropriate use of force 15 Jun 2018

  I ask the Serjeant at Arms to investigate the delay in the Aye Lobby. The House divided: Ayes 3, Noes 49.

• Mental Health Units (Use of Force) Bill: Independent investigation of deaths 15 Jun 2018

  If it goes wrong, it is obviously going to come back on me. In the end the right hon. Gentleman must make the decision, but overall I would say yes; my view is that the actions he mentioned would lead to more time for a better debate. If there are no further points of order, I call Sir Christopher Chope to speak—briefly, I presume, because I know that he wants to get on with the amendments.

• Mental Health Units (Use of Force) Bill: Independent investigation of deaths 15 Jun 2018

  Twenty-five minutes will do you, then. Come on, Sir Christopher!
