20 Years of Devolution

Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Speaker) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 July 2019. It occurred during Backbench debate on 20 Years of Devolution.

Order. [ Interruption. ] Order. The hon. Gentleman should resume his seat. I am not responsible for adjudicating between one Member and another on the veracity of what is said in the Chamber. Every Member is responsible for what he or she says in the Chamber. I say in a very gentle and understated fashion to the hon. Gentleman, who detained the House with

considerable eloquence for a significant period earlier, that others have not yet spoken, and I know that he would not be so selfish as to interrupt the debate for any length of time, because that would be wrong and he would not do it—I know him too well to think anything of the sort.
