Every MP should attend every debate
There is a concerning number of MPs not turning up to debates on important topics. As we pay for them from Tax Payers’ money to represent communities, their parties and the country, there should not be a choice if to turn up to a debate or not - it should be mandatory.

Background
Especially drawing upon the debate about Violence against Women and Girls, it is an insult to the groups that these debates are about that such a small amount of MPs have turned up. Attendance should not be a choice - if we pay for them to discuss important issues, not only just to represent these groups within their own constituencies, they must attend as we need to stand stronger together with such a time of political turmoil across the world.
