Faith @ Work
Welcome to the section on my website dedicated to the Christian work I do in Parliament and in the constituency. I produce a regular newsletter for churches in the constituency which I hope to add here too.
The information below gives you a taste and flavour of the activities in parliament and I hope to add as many links as possible.
If there is anything else you would like to see please don't hesitate to email me with your suggestions.
