Conference Adjournment

Proceeding contribution from Marcus Jones (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 September 2023. It occurred during Backbench debate on Conference Adjournment.

I thank the hon. Member. He is absolutely right that our Doorkeepers do a great job. They are a font of all knowledge to many Members of the House. Quite often, the Doorkeepers know when votes are coming before a lot of Members, so Members rely on them rather than their Whips, which they should not necessarily do, for their experience and knowledge. I thank our Doorkeepers, our Clerks, all of the staff on the parliamentary estate, our staff in our constituencies and in our parliamentary offices. Those staff do a massive amount at the coalface to support our constituents; without them, we would not be able to do our jobs and support our constituents as Members of Parliament.

Mr Deputy Speaker, I wish you a good conference recess and I hope that everybody has a happy and safe conference recess.
