Proceeding contribution from Natascha Engel (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 December 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on House of Commons Reform.


House of Commons Reform

I am sorry to labour the point, but are we not here also to represent political parties? Apart from some hon. Members—they are the exception rather than the rule—we were all elected to represent those political parties. We would not be here unless we stood on the political party ticket.
