MPs can use Twitter in House of Commons

MPs should be able to use Twitter in Commons, committee says

Hmm. I love Twitter but this sounds like a very bad idea to me. I wonder how MPs will be able to focus on parliamentary debates if they are on Twitter at the same time. Members of Parliament are expected (and paid) to attend the House of Commons to work,  not to sit and read tweets or write tweets.

Thoughts?
