Welfare Reform Bill

Speaker's ruling from Speaker in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Welfare Reform Bill.
Order. That is not acceptable. The hon. Member for Devizes (Claire Perry) should not shout across the Chamber, ““My grandfather lived in a council house, you twit.”” She should apologise. Frankly, she and other Members need to calm down. There is a decorum to this place. I know the hon. Lady. She would not behave like that across the dinner table, and she will not behave like that in this Chamber. That is the end of it. I hope we have an apology.
