This government plans to limit Parliamentary scrutiny of Government Bills and Legislation to only 50 MP's starting imminently.
As I understand it there will be NO video participation by excluded MP's.
We have a government that is desperate to avoid scrutiny by the press and by the opposition.

"because opposition parties were annoyed by the way the government forced through the ending of the virtual parliament."
"but the word is that the government is insisting that voting must be restricted to those physically present"
