Jean Price MP is new to the House of Commons and not yet familiar with its ways – she's also desperate to get home in reasonable time for her husband's birthday.

Jean is lucky enough to get a rare opportunity of a Bill before the house – but which should she present? Will compulsory créches prove too controversial; or just too boring?

When tipped off about nuclear waste apparently being transported through her constituency, Jean hopes to learn the truth: first she must surmount the confusing rules and precedents of asking a Parliamentary question!

Jean attempts to get more into the swing of parliament by joining a couple of committees. She's also got to contend with Sir Godfrey stealing her thunder, and double-crossings when it backfires!

Jean gets in a muddle over her Parliamentary manners, privilege and procedure. Despite the possibly great repercussions, she's reluctant to apologise for her indiscretions.
