Thank you
It is a privilege to serve as your MP for the beautiful and
historic
Windsor constituency.
I am
delighted to represent the constituency in Parliament and
continue to hold the Government
to account for their actions. It is hard work, but I
am determined that people get a better deal from their
Government.
I also want to
thank you for your continued support and warm welcome on the
doorsteps across the constituency - It means a lot to me.
As a
Shadow Minister for Innovation, Universities and Skills, it
strikes me that it's time for a new kind of politics where
we encourage and enable people to use their skills to
achieve both personal happiness and a vibrant and competitive
economy. I look forward to holding the Government to
account - There is a better way.
Conservatives Back Windsor Fire Station

Windsor
Fire Station
Adam, David Cameron and local

Conservative-controlled Windsor & Maidenhead Council has
applied to take over the local fire service so they can keep
the station open.

I
believe
People are happier
when making their own decisions.
Business is the
engine of the economy that generates our jobs, incomes and
taxes.
Government should
not interfere in our lives beyond protecting and defending
us.
