Virtual Participation in Debate

Proceeding contribution from Lord Spellar (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 November 2020. It occurred during Debate and Business statement on Virtual Participation in Debate.

Has not my right hon. Friend exposed another flaw in this, which is the argument made by some Conservative Members that, “Well, you’ll have to go and get a sick note”? But if people have to do that, they hand the note in to their employer; it is not put on the front page of the local paper and out on social media, exposing to the rest of the world their—or in this case, even their family members’—condition. Whatever happened to medical privacy in all this?
