Please do not lose sight of the fact that these Houses need funding to put their Members ahead of the game. It is very important that we renew constantly the information and technology for Members. Inevitably, regardless of what is online, the Member would be on the front line. Members engage directly with constituents. It is important to remember in the entire process the Parliament and its Members. I know the Minister of State is not forgetting them but we must ensure they are given priority.
