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


Parliamentary Representation

The hon. Gentleman mentions parliamentary internships. Does he recognise that it is often difficult for people from working class backgrounds who do not have money or financial backing, or people who do not have parents who live in London, to be interns in Parliament? Would he support a campaign to ensure that there is sufficient financial support so that we can redress that balance?
