Motion Text

That this House recognises the importance of events such as Parliament Week; acknowledges movesamong some hon. Members to engage which members of the public via social networking sites; and accepts that face-to-face contact with constituents all the time, not just at election time, is one of the best ways to keep in touch with the issue that voters are affected by, and that this constant contact does much to combat the perception of a Westminster bubble which many people believe epitomises the detached nature of politics and politicians in the UK in the 21st century.
