Proceeding contribution from Andrew Murrison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 December 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on House of Commons Reform.
House of Commons Reform
Does the hon. Gentleman agree that what is important is the quality of the work done by hon. Members? The report makes some useful comments along those lines, and on how quality might be improved. In the event of MPs' quality of work improving, especially in holding the Government to account, does the hon. Gentleman agree that we could seriously consider reducing the number of MPs, perhaps bringing us more in line with the American legislature that he cites?
