Recent appearances

• Avanti West Coast 7 Sep 2022

• Listed Buildings Protection 19 Jul 2022

  I will call Paul Maynard to move the motion, and then I will call the Minister to respond. There will not be an opportunity for the Member in charge to wind up, as is the convention for 30-minute debates.

• New Pylons: East Anglia — [Graham Stringer in the Chair] 19 Jul 2022

  Order. Motion lapsed ( Standing Order No. 10(6)).
