House of Commons Members’ Fund

Owen Thompson Excerpts

Monday 7th September 2020 Commons Chamber

[Valerie Vaz (Walsall South) (Lab)]

May I start by paying tribute to Anne Main, the former Member for St Albans, who was part of the Members’ Fund? I thank the hon. Member for Pudsey (Stuart Andrew) and my right hon. Friend the Member for Tynemouth (Sir Alan Campbell) for agreeing to serve. I am sure that they will both do a very good job.

[Owen Thompson (Midlothian) (SNP)]

I will be very brief. I cannot disagree with anything that was just said; I thoroughly endorse that position.

[The Treasurer of Her Majesty’s Household (Stuart Andrew)]

I am grateful to the right hon. Member for Walsall South (Valerie Vaz) for her kind comments, and I would like to add my thanks and those of the Government to former Member Anne Main.

Question put and agreed to.
