With further difficult measures being announced to tackle the coronavirus crisis, it is clear that it cannot be business as usual in Westminster. The House of Commons is outdated and out-of-touch in many ways, but on fully virtual proceedings it must change immediately.

The House of Commons falls under the strictest of tiers and @BorisJohnson is looking for people not to be in a position to spread the virus - his government must then act upon that and ensure that Parliament functions virtually.

Members must not be put in the impossible position of following public health guidance and face having the issues of their constituents shut out of Parliament.

I urge @BorisJohnson to take immediate steps to introduce fully virtual Parliament proceedings - including remote voting - to ensure MPs are not faced with any restrictions on what they are able to participate in.

With still no clarity - even at this very, very late stage - over the details around a low deal or no deal Brexit or attempts to recall Parliament at the last minute, the Prime Minister must do the responsible thing.

This is not about party politics, but about taking the right steps in these extremely challenging and unprecedented times.
