Business of the House

Debate between Sarah Atherton and Peter Bone

Thursday 20th May 2021 Commons Chamber

[Sarah Atherton (Wrexham) (Con)]

The 2019 MP intake had little time to get their feet under the green Benches and learn about parliamentary protocol before covid struck, and procedures in this House rightly changed so that Parliament could function. Structure replaced spontaneity and call lists replaced bobbing. As we emerge from the shackles of covid, does my right hon. Friend agree that we need to resume normal procedure as soon as possible so that we can scrutinise Government and represent our constituents?

[Mr Peter Bone (Wellingborough) (Con)]

Hear, hear!
