Wendy Chamberlain MP: Our mission this Parliament
My fellow MPs and I are ready to return to Parliament on Monday to keep fighting for a fair deal.
I’m honoured to continue as Chief Whip, now overseeing 71 other MPs to ensure we deliver for our communities.
As the third largest party, we have a greater chance to drive change. Expect more Lib Dem amendments, contributions to debates, and two Prime Minister’s Questions every week.
We also get three opposition days a year, where we choose the topics for debate and table motions, with our first on 16th October.
I’m especially excited to have secured a Private Members’ Bill alongside my colleagues Max Wilkinson, Roz Savage, and Danny Chambers. Last year, my Carers Leave Act passed, granting unpaid carers five days of leave.
If I could achieve that as one of just 15 MPs, imagine what we can do now.
But we can’t take these opportunities for granted. We must repay voters’ trust by making their priorities ours. And we must work differently - working together for the good of everyone. We’ll be a constructive opposition, supporting the Government when we agree and offering solutions when we don’t.
Next week, we put this into action, with some of our new MPs leading debates on key issues: Victoria Collins on sewage discharges, Max Wilkinson on maternity services, and Will Forster on rail fares.
