In Parliament

I always look for points of agreement, but the hon. Gentleman is free to shout, “You were caught out”, from a sedentary position.

I am very grateful to the hon. Gentleman; he held the door open for me earlier this week, and has done so again verbally today.

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for intervening in such a friendly way.

I am grateful to the hon. Lady, as she has managed to put the point that I was trying to make more clearly than I was able to.

One thing we can do to improve standards in schools is to stamp out bullying.

Of course, I will give way to the hon. Gentleman, as he was so generous in giving way to me.

I will always be grateful to the hon. Gentleman for opening doors for me.

I thank the hon. Lady for clarifying that point.

That was an important intervention from the hon. Lady. I do not agree that those subjects were chosen on ideological grounds.

I thank my hon. Friend for that important intervention. I was going to come on to that, but I will deal with it now.
