News From Westminster
This year, as for the past few years, I have held a Christmas card design competition for local schools.
All the schools in the constituency are invited to submit their designs, and then the best are chosen by a local
artist. These are then made into my Christmas cards that are sent all across the constituency to charities, libraries, businesses and organisations. Look out for them!
One of the most enjoyable aspects of my job is when I get the chance to visit schools in the constituency, or speak to them when they visit Parliament. I was delighted that my offi ce was able to arrange for one of our local schools, Bearwood School, to not only visit the Houses of Parliament, but also go into Downing Street and stand by the famous door of Number 10.
Parliament has been very eventful recently, but I have also been continuing with my constituency visits and surgeries. In Westminster I recently attended a Wildlife Trust reception and met young people from across the country involved in local wildlife trusts to hear their views about the natural environment. I was also pleased to be part of the Queen’s Commonwealth Canopy project. This is a network of forest conservation initiatives to mark Her Majesty’s lifetime of service to the Commonwealth. I was given fi ve trees to be planted in the constituency – two silver birch, two rowan, and a hazel.

Many people have written to me about the availability of diabetes glucose monitoring, so that they no longer have to prick their fi nger multiple times a day. I was really pleased by the recent government announcement that Flash monitors will now be funded so that they are available for everyone who is eligible. This will make life for people with type 1 diabetes much easier.
However you are celebrating, whether with friends or family, I wish you all a happy Christmas and a peaceful new year.
I will be continuing my regular surgeries around the constituency; please do get in touch if you would like to meet or need my help with any particular issue.
