  Order. I need to emphasise that we do not call hon. Members by their names. We refer to their constituencies or, in this case, to the Leader of the Opposition. I am afraid that both Front-Bench spokespersons were guilty of it, but I could not let it go the third time.

• Salisbury Incident 12 Sep 2018

  I have now to announce the result of today’s deferred Division on the question of the EU-Singapore free trade agreement. The Ayes were 331 and the Noes were 145, so the Ayes have it. [The Division list is published at the end of today’s debates.]

• Yemen: Legislating for the Withdrawal Agreement 10 Sep 2018
