Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Work and Pensions – in the House of Commons am 3:30 pm ar 11 Mai 2009.
If hon. Members allow me to answer, perhaps they will not need to make their points.
I have a great deal of sympathy with the case that the hon. Gentleman makes. Perhaps later on this week I will make a statement after I have brought people into the House to try to resolve the matter. Many of us were involved in demonstrations before we came into the House, because demonstrating is part of a democracy, but we would have those demonstrations and then leave. No one has ever expected a demonstration to hijack Parliament square and the roads, and thereby stop others performing their democratic duties. I will be able to give the hon. Gentleman more information later in the week.

It strikes me that by not allowing Honourable Members to finish their points of order, Mr Martin has hijacked Parliament and stopped MPs performing their democratic duties.
