Derek O’Brien makes a Point of Order on Special Mentions being rejected

FULL TRANSCRIPT
Sir, My Point of Order is regarding Rule 180 (B). Special Mentions. Everybody must get a chance, specially our colleagues in the last row.
My point is, the MPs are representing a State. When they give a Special Mention, they want to bring out something important, which may be related to the State and the Centre. But many of these Special Mentions are being rejected at the level of the under-secretary.
This concerns everyone in the House. Special Mentions are being rejected under Rule 180 (B) (2). This is a serious issue.
