Virtual Participation in Debate

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

I just want to make it absolutely clear that I would love the right hon. Member for Chesham and Amersham (Dame Cheryl Gillan) to be able to take part in debates fully. I have spoken to her several times this year and I know how painful she has found this. None of us is seeking to prevent that happening. All of us who have tabled the amendment and support the amendment simply want a few more people to be able to participate in exactly the same way as she is. If the Leader of the House would stand up now and say that he will accept the amendment, we could all go home and get on with more important business.
