My Maiden Speech
I made my Maiden Speech today in the debate on poverty. The first speech you make in the Commons is different to any other in that precedent determines you talk about your constituency, you pay tribute to your predecessor, and reading your speech is forgiven (from now on it is not!). However I wanted to talk about the issue of poverty as well as it is an important element of the challenges we face locally and nationally. The full text of my speech can be found HERE.

Checked the link and only found an exchange on building a skilled economy rather than your maiden speech.
Try looking at:

then scroll down to 2:27. Tracey's speech is shown there.
