Draft Investigatory Powers Bill

Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Speaker) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 4 November 2015. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Draft Investigatory Powers Bill.

Order. I do not wish to embarrass any individual hon. Member, but may I just gently point out that a Member who was not here at the start of the statement or who has gone in and out of the Chamber during the course of it should not be standing and expecting to be called? We have a very long-established practice that a Member must be present at the start of a statement and remain present throughout the exchanges, and I think on the whole the House will think that is a very proper courtesy.
