Proceeding contribution from Margot James (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 January 2012. It occurred during Backbench debate on Parliamentary Representation.


Parliamentary Representation

Does the hon. Lady agree that both people with manual backgrounds and those in the professions are discouraged from putting themselves forward by awkward economic considerations? Those in manual trades cannot afford the whole process of campaigning, taking time off and so forth, while those in the professions cannot afford to give up the salaries to which they have become accustomed.
