Maiden speeches – every one a treat

By Paul Walter | Tue 12th November 2024 - 5:20 pm

We have now published all the maiden speeches of our new MPs.

Tessa Munt and Andrew George are returning MPs, so do not have formal “maiden” speeches. We will shortly publish their first speeches of this parliament with a “flashback” to their original maiden speeches.

Please let me know, in the comments below, if I have missed anyone from my “back of an envelope” calculations.

I would encourage you to watch or read all the maiden speeches for this parliament. They can be found by using the Google search bar on the right of this and all our posts. Each speech contains heart-warming stories of hard work and tenacity by, not only the MPs making the speeches, but by their families and colleagues.
