Can Cambridge find keys to unlock 'lockdown' Parliament?

Parliament needs new tech tools so MPs can scrutinise ministers, quiz experts and pass laws whilst observing social distancing. Cambridge MP Daniel Zeichner has joined over 100 MPs from across the political divide to call for a digital parliament

He said “This is a challenge I am sure Cambridge tech firms can get behind.

"We need to design a digital Parliament in which all MPs can participate simply and securely. The loc down is no reason to clamp down on our democratic traditions. In fact with emergency legislation, hundreds of new rules and schemes, there has never been a more important time for scrutiny. My constituents want urgent answers from ministers and we need a system where I can digitally look them in the eye and demand solutions."

Suggestions can be sent to the Clerk of the House via email
