2015 July

I was delighted to attend the opening of the new Parliament Education Centre by Professor Brian Cox on Wednesday 15 July 2015 and was the set up at the instigation of Mr Speaker the Rt Hon John Bercow MP.

I am a sponsor of the Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (Statutory Requirement) Bill 2015-16 which received its First Reading on 15 July 2015.

Before Parliament rose for the Summer Recess on Tuesday 21 July 2015, I presented a petition from residents of Monmouth Road and parents at Bentley West Primary School to Parliament calling for a 20mph speed limit and traffic calming to be introduced on Monmouth Road.

On Monday 20 July 2015 I chaired my first proceedings as a member of the Panel of Chairs, to which I was appointed by Mr Speaker at the start of the current Parliamentary Session.
