Marie Tidball said the historically large 2024 cohort of MPs would offer "fresh eyes and fresh experience" to parliament and government, as she put herself forward to be head of the education select committee.
Tidball is one of a handful of new MPs looking to be elected as heads of select committees when MPs vote today, while others have already been made ministers. The rapid promotion of new MPs has caused disquiet among some of their colleagues, who complain the new set of Labour members are pushing out those with more experience.
In an interview with the Guardian, Tidball said the country needed the skills offered by those who were swept to office for the first time in Labour's landslide election win.
