I agree with my hon. Friend. The Services Committee is doing all it can to ensure that a successor is appointed, but it is not proving all that easy. There is a general shortage of secretarial staff in the London area and agencies are understandably cautious about taking on new commitments. However, I am hopeful.

House of Commons

The House of Commons is one of the houses of parliament. Here, elected MPs (elected by the "commons", i.e. the people) debate. In modern times, nearly all power resides in this house. In the commons are 650 MPs, as well as a speaker and three deputy speakers.
