• Parliamentary Constituencies (Amendment) Bill: Committee Stage 19 Jun 2018

  Order. Interventions need to be brief. There are plenty of people waiting to speak, and it is not fair if interventions are too long.

• Parliamentary Constituencies (Amendment) Bill: Committee Stage 19 Jun 2018

  Order. Just before I call the next speaker, let me be clear. When I said everybody could take nine minutes, that does include interventions. Otherwise, I will have to impose a time limit.

• Parliamentary Constituencies (Amendment) Bill: Committee Stage 19 Jun 2018

  Order. This is a well-subscribed debate. If colleagues stick to a maximum of nine minutes, we should be able to get everybody in. I call Mark Harper.
