Away from the argumentative point-scoring PMQs and other raucous debate, this is what the HoC does best. Intelligent and impassioned discussion about how small changes in service provision could make life a little easier for the estimated 14 million people in the UK who often often suffer embarrassment and social isolation as a result of these conditions.
