MPs work long and often unsocial hours. They often begin work around 7.00am and the working day continues until very late at night. MPs need a base in London to do their jobs properly. Much of the work that I do as MP for Dartford takes place late at night or in the early hours of the morning within the House. It is at this time that Ministers are available for more informal conversations in which I can raise issues regarding the local area, and discuss my concerns about a particular issue. I believe I would be a less effective MP if I could not do this on a regular basis.
