Sir Lindsay Hoyle

Speaker — Chorley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 23 October 2025

Debate

Fishing and Coastal Growth Fund

Contribution

This was a very important and well attended urgent question, and I thank the Minister for coming to the Chamber to answer it. One of the arguments made to me for not granting it was that “there will be a Westminster Hall debate next Wednesday, though on an unrelated subject: banning plastic wipes”—I know that argument was not from the Minister, who I again thank. I think we can see that the urgent question was very important.
