Business of the House

Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Speaker) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 February 2017. It occurred during Business statement and Speaker's statement on Business of the House.

Order. Over 30 Members are seeking to catch my eye. I advise the House that 36 Members wish to speak in the first of the two Backbench Business Committee debates, and 12 wish to contribute to the second. If I am to have any chance of accommodating that later Back-Bench interest we need to be moving on by, or very close to, 12.30 pm. May we please have short questions and short answers?
