kenneth clark may actually announce that the senior conservative in a few minutes‘ time.e one or two of the other candidates were talking about making some changes. he has made his pitch, on 2aa, and then in second place at the moment, elinor laying, on the conservative benches, 122, chris brya nt conservative benches, 122, chris bryant on the labour benches 120, probably the best received speech of the afternoon, with a bit of humour, the afternoon, with a bit of humour, the deft touch in that speech by chris bryant but will be enough to get him to the speaker chair? looking a bit distant at the moment at the end that harriet harman, the very singular labour mp come and former cabinet minister on 59 which i think she will be disappointed with because of her stature and her experience, some people were expecting her to do rather better than that. three candidates have dropped out, rosie, make hilliard, and sir edward lee, the veteran conservative. but we have four still left. i suspect we will get a result within the next half hour or so. that is my hunch. kenneth clark w

cheering cani can ijust can i just say, can ijust say, kenneth clarke, thank you for the way, we've keptt, you've been stuck fast in thejob appreciate it, you've been stuck fast in the job that you've done, it really is appreciated —— stead fast. may i just say, really is appreciated —— stead fast. may ijust say, thank really is appreciated —— stead fast. may i just say, thank you, really is appreciated —— stead fast. may ijust say, thank you, and whoever would have been selected would have made a great speaker, those who withdrew, henry bellingham, we thank you for the way you wanted to make sure that we did not stay another two days. of course, it is about the campaign, and the challenges ahead, for me and this chamber, i stand by what i've said, i hope this house will be once a great respected house, notjust in here but across the world, that once again it is the envy, and we have got to make sure the tarnish is polished way, and the respect and tolerance we expect from everyone who works in here will be shown and we will keep that in order. i also wa nt to we will keep that in order.

i thought that there would be because we had some big names, kenneth clarke, the pam and the former chancellore former leader of the liberal democrats standing down. but is not particularly large, 68 so far, on average it is about 80 and after the expenses scandal it rocketed to above 100% not a huge number this year. the second question is when will we know who the candidates are and how on earth are they selected. the truth is i suspect most of us already know, the literature has been coming through the door, the dog has chewed it up, but you will not know absolutely everyone until next thursday when the nominations close. how are they chosen, by the local pleiades, dow given a list by head office and then it is up to the local parties by large to decide who your local candidate will be. question number three, why cannot we move into the modern world and felt online. the answer bluntly is dodgy russians! in other words, online. the answer bluntly is dodgy russians! in otherwords, cyber security, theatre and fraud and help secure the process would be. interestingly the estonians are already d

kenneth clarke is back on his feet.ms utterly absurd not tojust reprint the ballot paper so people don't put nx. it seems absurd. with great respect, these arrangements do need revising and various other respects. with the arrangements we have, it is not possible to know who the candidates we re possible to know who the candidates were for the next round, until a proper opportunity was given for the candidates who wish to withdraw withdraw. i declare the house is suspended until the next stage of the proceedings. we will return to the proceedings. we will return to the house of commons for the next spade —— stage in this nail—biting contest, which is reaching fever pitch now. we will return when we know something is about to happen. the key will be on standby as well. we are all geared up for that. when the next stage of this result... there are other stages that we could get to, but obviously, there is some frustrating —— frustration that the process is taken so long already. let‘s have a look at the weather. the step
