Here is the sketch itself : 

Some of the MPs hadn't made a speech since well before the 1959 election. It wasn't true that they hadn't been heard at all though as several had asked parliamentary questions.

Aha, perhaps some of them were unfairly maligned then. These days the number of questions asked in the House is often used as a benchmark of how active an MP is, but I doubt the public would be particularly interested in how many speeches they had made.

Norman Hulbert (Stockport North) “was incensed when, on 19 January 1963, the BBC television programme That Was The Week That Was broadcast an item identifying the 13 members of parliament who had not spoken in the Chamber since the general election. He raised the issue as a question of Parliamentary privilege, saying that it was a claim that the Members concerned had not been attentive to their Parliamentary duties, and was inaccurate. Many other MPs considered the complaint itself risible and laughed while he was making it. The Speaker gave the complaint the traditional overnight consideration but ruled that it did not prima facie amount to an affront to the House.”

Harrow Road could go Gaza independent. It's in Westminster's more Arab areas.

What happens with a double by-election in a Scottish ward, as with Cromarty Firth? Is it run as one two-member election, or two separate single-member ones?

RefUK fielding two candidates - is this a commitment to choice in STV, an inability to decide on one (are they related?), a poor understanding of how the system works or just very confident of a double gain?
