Will my right hon. Friend bear in mind that, quite rightly, the House of Commons has spent I do not know how much money on providing accommodation for private Members' secretaries, with which we all agree, whereas the conditions for Ashworth's are such that it is no longer able to continue its service, which I very much regret? I am very annoyed about it.

House of Commons

The House of Commons is one of the houses of parliament. Here, elected MPs (elected by the "commons", i.e. the people) debate. In modern times, nearly all power resides in this house. In the commons are 650 MPs, as well as a speaker and three deputy speakers.
