That may well apply to many MPs but as my last MP (duck house man) did practically nothing but photo opportunities in the constituency,seeming to spend his time trying to set up a white elephant transport tram system that would go through a tunnel under the harbour to Portsmouth and was at one point recorded on the list of house attendance as being the third to last on the list for attendance I'll possibly be forgiven for being somewhat sceptical about just how much case work some actually have or attend to..
