		Once nominated, Dhanda then had to convince a primarily white constituency, who had elected his predecessor Tess Kingham with a majority of a single vote in 1997, that a young Sikh, hailing from west London, was the one to serve them.
		Although Dhanda was never in any doubt as to the level of responsibility that goes with being an MP, particularly with one of the country’s largest constituencies, it was not until the September 11 attacks, three months into the job, that he fully realised how important the role actually was.
		As Dhanda’s researcher leads me through the labyrinthine maze of corridors, lifts and bridges and out via Portcullis House, he tells me that theirs is probably the furthest away from the chamber of all MPs’ offices.
