The virtual parliament must remain in place whilst social distancing exists

The idea that video conferencing and virtual parliament can be stopped at this time when:

1 Travel is supposed to be limited
2 Social distancing is in place to prevent spread of disease
3 Only 50 MPs can be allowed into the chamber

MPs must set and example and work from home, which has been proved to be possible and should continue. We have the right to have our representatives heard, barriers must not be put in their way.
