Bob Blackman

Conservative — Harrow East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 December 2025

Debate

15th Anniversary

Contribution

The reality is that the sponsor of the debate is responsible not only for the content of their speech, but for encouraging the press to get involved and promote the debate. The debates can be on a wide range of topics. One of the great things about the Backbench Business Committee is that we consider things that most people have never even thought of as possible debates. Importantly, it is therefore incumbent on the individuals who propose the debates to promote them appropriately.
