What a day: morning saw us doing constituency correspondence and then down to the House of Commons and Lords for the Queens Speech; the Queen was amazing.
Back in to the chamber for the debate and then more correspondence / meetings followed by drinks with the shadow cabinet and David Cameron in the gardens of 10 Downing Street. At this meet and greet got a good chance to chat to Liam Fox, and mentioned to George Osborne several constituents concerns about CGT rises. Also chatted at length to Dominic Grieve and Mark Francois.
The garden of 10 Downing Street is L shaped and high walled. Downing Street itself is small and number 10 not that big: the White House it is not!
Then back to the House for more work on correspondence: Sarah my secretary says she has never known it this busy in all her many years working in the House. Left the House at 9.30pm
