Westminster Diary - March 2024

It was wonderful to be named joint winners in this year's Association of Colleges (AoC) #BeaconAward in The AoC Award for Excellence in Governance category, and really wonderful to celebrate the work of Governors alongside two of our MPs, Sir Roger Gale MP and Damian Collins!

Our Patron Sir Roger Gale MP has long spoken out for a ban on trophy hunting imports and showed his strong support today at the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting event to support John John Spellar Bill to end trophy hunting imports #GetTheBanDone

Met with the Minister of State for Health, Andrea Leadsom MP, to discuss the provision of the NHS and the NHS dentistry in East Kent. Major improvements are imminent.

With Tracey Crouch MP and Paul Whitfield of the Wildwood Trust at the first BIAZA awards ceremony in the Speaker’s House. Congratulations to Wildwood on their nomination. Bisons ‘R Us!

From an ageing pirate to a trailblazer and the very first of the still too few:

Rock in peace Annie.

Suzy joins me, our family, and the Team at the Old Forge in wishing you a Happy Christmas and a healthy, peaceful and splendid year.
