PARLIAMENTARY STANDARDS (AMENDMENT) BILL

House of Commons, 11 February 2011.

Tom Watson (Labour, West Bromwich East)

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. This morning the High Court ruled on the decision of the Secretary of State for Education to cut the Building Schools for the Future programme, claiming that it was unlawful, unfair and an abuse of power. Have you heard a squeak from the Secretary of State, Mr Deputy Speaker? Is he going to come to this House to explain himself?

Lindsay Hoyle (Labour, Chorley)

The matter has been raised already, and I have heard nothing further on it.
