Cornwall’s Voice: Noah Law, Labor MP for St Austell and Newquay

The four of us and our 407 fellow Labor MPs packed into the House of Commons for the re-election of the President. The government benches in the chamber were not designed to accommodate so many MPs, so I was seated in the public gallery to watch Sir Lindsay Hoyle being ceremoniously dragged to his seat, as is tradition. The Speaker of the House has an important role – to ensure that all members, including those on the backbench who represent parts of the country that are too often overlooked, such as ourselves, get a fair hearing.
