Proceeding contribution from Mark Todd (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on Chair (Terminology).
Chair (Terminology)
My hon. Friend says no loudly behind me, and I can see why she might say that. It is certainly true, however, that a new Member, feeling lost and without any networks in place, could well find themselves with very little say in which Select Committee they got on to, if any, and without the votes to achieve the outcomes that they wanted. So let us not over-egg what we are doing today. I will vote for the reforms because I think that they will be beneficial, but, honestly, they are only a small part—and, in terms of our engagement with the public at large, a pretty minimal part—of what needs to be done.
