Point of Order

Volume 503: debated on Wednesday 6 January 2010

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. You may have heard the rather dramatic news just now that a former Secretary of State for Defence and a former Secretary of State for Health have called for an immediate ballot on the leadership of the Labour party and the future of the Prime Minister. Do you consider that this might affect the order of the business for the rest of the day?

The short answer is no. If memory serves me correctly, the hon. Gentleman will fairly soon be marking 18 years in the House of Commons as the Member for Lichfield, and I therefore feel sure that he knows as well as I know that that was not a point of order.
