Strategic Defence and Security Review

Speaker's ruling from Speaker in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 September 2010. It occurred during Backbench debate on Strategic Defence and Security Review.
A large number of Back Benchers want to take part in the debate. I understand that the Select Committee on Defence wishes there to be Front-Bench speeches early in the debate and winding-up speeches at the end. There will be a 10-minute time limit on Back-Bench speeches. On this occasion, I am not going to impose the 20-minute time limit on Front-Bench speeches, but I urge brevity from Front-Bench Members in what is essentially a Back-Bench debate. Motion made, and Question proposed,"That this House has considered the matter of the Strategic Defence and Security Review and future of the UK's armed forces.—(Alison Seabeck.)"
