Times reveals Absent Adam's poor attendance at Children's Select Committee

11.59.00pm BST (GMT +0100) Fri 10th Apr 2009

The Times reported on 8th April the poor record of attendance of many MPs at valuable select committee meetings which are the main vehicle for Parliament to hold ministers and government departments to account.

A source on the Children, Schools and Families Committee suggested to the Times that select committee work "did not sit well" with Conservative Adam Afriyie, who attended only three out of the 45 meetings when he was a member.

Talking about Labour MP Dawn Butler and Windsor's Conservative MP Adam Afriyie the source said:

"Dawn was keen to be a government member or whip and Adam wanted to go on the Tory front bench. So their focus was elsewhere."
