Virtual parliament at Westminster

Include virtual conference facilities in the refurbishment of Westminster.

Why is this important?

Why spend millions refurbishing Westminster to retain traditions that hinder progress? This is an opportunity for modernisation of process as well as infrastructure. Including virtual conference facilities in the upgrade would allow MPs from outside London to choose between attending debates in person or using a virtual link. MPs would save time and taxpayers money by reducing their travel costs and negating the need for second homes.
