Chris Seeks Clarity On Delegation To Clerks
Christopher Chope Conservative, Christchurch
Further to that point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. Would it be possible for you to explain why that is not a matter for the Chair? Surely if MPs are going to be deemed by the Metropolitan police to have greater culpability than other citizens, that must be a matter for the Chair and for Mr Speaker. Why should it be delegated to the Clerks?

I thank the hon. Gentleman for his point of order. However, it is not a matter for the Chair. If it is a matter of privilege, he should raise the matter privately with Mr Speaker.
