This week in the House I had the honour of making my Maiden Speech. New MPs are expected to use their first speech to say a little about themselves and their constituency, and from then on they are able to contribute to any debate.
John Milne MP for Horsham has announced his resignation as Horsham District Council member for Denne ward, following his success in the July 4 General Election.
Horsham’s MP John Milne has announced he will be voting against the Government’s planned cut to the Winter Fuel Allowance.
The government’s announcement that it intends to cut Winter Fuel Payments for all but the lowest income pensioners has caused widespread alarm.
The new Labour government has put planning reform at the centre of its agenda. And that’s a good thing. Unfortunately, the more we learn of the detail, the more we discover Labour’s plans are based on the same mistaken assumptions as before.
And it’s Gold for Horsham! First off I’d like to congratulate Scott Brash, who has just won Gold in the equestrian team jumping final.
