Keep remote attendance to Parliament available to all MPs who require it.
Ensure that the current access to all parliamentary sessions and committees have remote attendance to available to all MPs who require it. Voting can be done securely online using the technology that is currently available.
This will reduce use of public transport & non-essential distanced travel and be more equal for MPs who cannot leave home because of their own, or members of their household’s, health reasons. We all deserve to be represented, not just the constituents of 50 invited MPs, and those who currently cannot attend in person ought to be allowed to serve and represent their constituents.
