Westminster this week

Home office questions at 2.30 today, followed by the statement by the PM on the European Council. I am on the immigration Bill committee throughout most of Tuesday and Thursday, albeit there are crucial debates on several key issues like HS2 in the main chamber on Thursday. I have several key meetings on fuel prices and on Tuesday there is a key briefing on the progress made towards the LA7 = the key amalgamation of the 7 local authorities in the north east. I am a big supporter of the proposal, and will do everything possible to make it happen.
In addition there are several meetings on the skills agenda, and with the all party group on apprentices, which I am helping a lot
Several constituents also coming to Westminster this week.
Please come down and visit us - parliament belongs to us all!
