Most recent appearances
- Oral Answers to Questions — Deputy Prime Minister: Topical Questions (7 Feb 2012)
“Will my right hon. Friend give heart to the Protect Stapeley campaign in my constituency, which is rightly campaigning against a plan for 1,500 homes, largely on green-belt land, without any obvious concern for the unacceptable pressure it will put on local services and infrastructure?”
- Business of the House (2 Feb 2012)
“Members may be aware that Nantwich, in my constituency, plays host to the world’s largest cheese fair, which showcases outstanding local produce including the unbeatable Cheshire cheese.
