Proceeding contribution from Andrew Dismore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 November 2006. It occurred during Debate on Legislative Process.
Legislative Process
I believe that it was about 60 per cent., which is good for London. However, that is not the point. It is not about party political campaigning, as has been alleged, but doing the job right and keeping people informed. I shall quote from one more letter and I hope that hon. Members will listen. It states:"““It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that my father… passed away.""I have spent the last few days going through his paper work and files and came across a file marked ‘Dismore’.""I always knew my father took a great deal of interest in charitable affairs, it was not though until I glanced through this file that it became clear what a compulsive letter writer he was to you about not only things close to his heart but of numerous local and international affairs.""What was so nice was that you in turn always took the time to answer not only his letters but to keep him informed of previous questions he had asked.""For that I thank you.””" That is from a bereaved constituent.
