Fairness in allocation of question time

Summary

Deputy Allen complained that Priority Questions had taken 21 or 22 minutes, arguing that other Members deserved equal rights and the Chair’s protection. The Chair said it did its best in the circumstances.

On a point of order, I feel you should give equal rights in the House; 22 minutes have been used up on Priority Questions. This is not good enough. We have rights here also. It is not Deputy Noonan's problem because his question came up at the end.

The Chair does its best in these circumstances.

Twenty-one or 22 minutes have been used up. This is not good enough. We expect your protection.
