Proceeding contribution from Martin Salter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on Use of the Chamber (Youth Parliament).


Use of the Chamber (Youth Parliament)

Does the Deputy Leader of the House think it might be helpful to conduct some referendums in random constituencies—Reading, West and Broxbourne, perhaps—to see what people think of Members of Parliament who want to deny young people the fantastic opportunity to debate in this place? If such referendums were conducted—and they may well be—does he agree that hon. Members who take that position might be honour bound to listen to the views of their constituents?
