The most important way in which the public can access the parliamentary system is by accessing their MPs. I want to commend those who organise the IT system, or—as it certainly went through difficult times—those who are now running a much better system. Will my hon. Friend make it clear—it may have to be done through parliamentary procedures—that we really should not be shutting down the system? When we are trying to work through remote access, it is very annoying when neither our constituents can access us nor we them.

How wonderfully 19th century: "The most important way in which the public can access the parliamentary system is by accessing their MPs."?!

So two Labour MPs here back-slapping on an élitist legislature. Nice(!)
