Opened the debate
On a point of order, I raised concern about comments attributed to the right hon. Member for North West Essex who described my right hon. Friend as acting like a Gestapo officer. This is extremely alarming, particularly on this day of all days, and I ask that we temper our comments and calm down the rhetoric.

I thanked the hon. Gentleman for his point of order but noted that comments made outside the Chamber are not a matter for the Chair, yet he has put his point on the record.
