The claim that points of order are taken after both statements and urgent questions in the UK House of Commons is supported by multiple authoritative sources: 1. **UK Government Guide to Parliamentary Work** (GOV.UK, November 2024): This official guide lays out the order of the parliamentary day. Paragraph 31 states that Urgent Questions (UQs) are taken following Question Time. Paragraph 33 states that "Oral statements by a Government Minister follow any UQs." Paragraph 34 notes that SO24 (emergency debate) applications take place after UQs and statements. Paragraph 35 then states: "At this point in the Parliamentary day, Members may raise Points of Order with the Speaker." This confirms the sequence: Question Time → UQs → Statements → (SO24 applications) → Points of Order. 2. **Speaker Lindsay Hoyle's own ruling** (Hansard, 25 February 2026, c336): The Speaker explicitly stated in the Chamber: "Points of order come after Urgent Questions and statements. We are not going to change the policy of the House." This confirms the procedural norm was being enforced as of early 2026, consistent with the date of the speech in question (3 June 2026). 3. **Parliament's Guide to Procedure** confirms that urgent questions are taken "immediately after Question Time and before any oral statements," consistent with the ordering described. The claim accurately reflects the established order of business in the House of Commons: points of order are normally taken after both urgent questions and statements have concluded.
