European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Speaker) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 June 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union (Withdrawal) Bill.

Order. Before the Solicitor General does so, I gently remind him that he had indicated to me that he might speak for up to an hour, and if that his intention, so be it, but he will realise that he is now into the last quarter of that allocation. He is a very courteous and considerate fellow and would not want a situation to evolve in which significant numbers of hon. and right hon. Members who wish to speak in the debate were prevented from doing so on account of too lawyerly speeches, whose eloquence and erudition were equalled only by their length.

I call Mary Creagh.
