absolutely ludicrous position ... I’m an MP and, out of necessity, I’m in the House of Commons three or four days a week and I’ve said it’s important the campaign is actually run from Scotland.
I don't know how they got the information about the House of Commons expenses, but it is quite possible that they bribed somebody to get hold of the information
I trust that Great Britain, the mother of Parliaments, may once more take the lead among the great nations of the world by securing for herself a House of Commons which shall really represent the nation.
I call on the Government to make clear, at the latest before the Welfare Reform Bill comes back to the House of Commons, what it intends to do to prevent the planned benefits changes from breaking up families and damaging the lives of literally hundreds of thousands of children.
But it will be for the House of Commons to decide and then it will be for the government to act on that after a House of Commons decision.
The Conservatives don't have an overall majority, so they need, if they want to get a finance bill through, if they want to get anything else through, they need to have Liberal Democrat support in the House of Commons and that's absolutely crucial
A larger House of Commons is better than a smaller House of Commons
The House of Commons Library research shows clearly that once again the chancellor's plans hit women more than twice as hard as men
Here is a member of the House of Commons who stands up and says the federal government, the federal parliament, voted to impose something on a provincial government that is solely a matter of provincial responsibility.
It is genuinely baffling to people that somebody who said they wouldn't back strike action while negotiations were under way has come to the House of Commons today to speak on behalf of trade union leaders. I want to say it is a flashback to Neil Kinnock. But even Kinnock wasn't as bad as that.

Hansard, which is controlled by the House of Commons, typically goes through the raw material of a committee or the House of Commons and takes out all of these verbal ticks so that it is much more readable for the reader.

Ministers are agitators in this. The Prime Minister in the House of Commons yesterday and his ministers today look like they are relishing this strike. That is outrageous.

Sir, you made the big mistake of suggesting that Irene Rosenfeld, chairman and chief executive of Kraft Foods, is a top woman in business. May I remind you that this lady broke the promise she made during the hostile takeover of Cadbury of keeping a plant in Bristol open and has ever since refused to at...
The leadership race itself is not very dynamic … And who wants to lead a party that doesn’t have official party standing in the House of Commons?
