The Conservative Party’s leadership will be decided tomorrow. I supported Jeremy Hunt, but I hope the Party will unite around whoever wins. The new Prime Minister will have a huge task to deliver Brexit and re-energise domestic policy, and on Saturday I wrote about the key Whitehall reforms which he should make to achieve his goals. In an article for local newspapers I explained why I still believe that Brexit should be delivered through a deal, and in an interview with Talk Radio I warned that suspending Parliament as a means of achieving 'no deal' would be a serious mistake.

I joined my constituency neighbour Sir Nicholas Soames MP to voice my strongly-held objection to the proposed Mayfield Market Town. At a packed meeting of more than 500 local residents in St Peter’s Church, Henfield, we pledged that we would continue to fight this unsustainable proposal.

I have been attending many constituency events throughout the summer, and especially enjoyed visiting the RSPB’s nature reserve at Pulborough to see lapwings, for which I am ‘species champion’.  I have also had the pleasure of meeting groups of local schoolchildren from Wisborough Green Primary School and Steyning Grammar School on their visits to Parliament.

Last month I launched the Global Equality Caucus at the United Nations in New York, and my work to fight TB was rewarded when the Government renewed its support for the Global Fund, a commitment which will help save millions of lives.
