News

Many people continue to look to the local media - newspapers, radio and television - to find out what is going on in their neighbourhood.  I therefore issue regular news releases about my work as your MP both in Parliament and here in North West Leicestershire.

By clicking on the appropriate link on the right hand side of this page, you can view all my news release, information about local visits, "The Commons Touch" monthly column I write for the Coalville and Ashby Times and the "Parliamentary Patter" column I also wrote monthly for the Coalville Echo up to its closure in July 2009 and which I am subsequently continuing on-line.

You can also access my most recent annual Parliamentary Reports, periodic newsletters which I aim to launch (there's also a link for you to sign up to receive these direct) and articles I occasionally write for other media.

Some of these documents are in pdf format and you will need Adobe Reader software to view them.  This can be dowloaded free by going to www.adobecrobat.info/uk
