Welcome
I was delighted to have been returned as the Member of Parliament for West Suffolk in 2005 increasing my majority from 4,295 to 8,909.
It is an honour and a privilege to serve as your MP. I will continue to work hard to campaign on all the important issues that matter to my constituents - fighting on their behalf in Westminster and in Suffolk.
I hope you find my website helpful and informative.
