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

Parliamentary Representation

As a new Member, I sat in the Members centre and beside me was another new Member, from the Opposition. I watched and was alarmed that she spent two and a half hours on the telephone from the Members centre trying to find accommodation and failing. In the end I said, ““What's the problem?”” and she said, ““I've just got no money left and I can't live.”” That is wrong and we must put it right as soon as possible.
