After watching yesterday’s deeply disappointing move by MPs to frustrate the implementation of the referendum result, it was good to be back in the House of Commons this afternoon to see the Chancellor of the Exchequer deliver the Spending Round announcement.

I was really pleased to be able to join young National Citizen Service (NCS) participants at River Bourne Community Farm on Friday to help them prepare a series of social action projects that will benefit the local community.

After months of preparation, Armed Forces Day weekend has arrived! I've just visited St Thomas's Church in Salisbury to speak with Lt. Col Neil Stace about the Flags of Thanks exhibition - a very moving tribute to our military.

I enjoyed attending the Carers Week event in Parliament on Monday and had a good discussion with representatives from Rethink about the particular challenges of caring for those with mental illness.

A real pleasure to be at Winterslow Primary School this morning to talk about politics at Westminster and field some tough questions from the pupils in Year 6!

Very productive meeting with Highways England in Parliament this afternoon. I stressed the importance of solving the congestion problem on Southampton Road/A36.
