I suppose that just like many of you I’ve been getting into something of a routine as we mark the third full week of the lockdown to defeat Coronavirus.
Good morning, each week I post my weekly update on a Saturday morning. This week I’m doing it a day later because it gives me the opportunity to wish all of my constituents a very happy Easter.
I’m afraid this week I’m not able to write a particularly exciting update. My team and I have been working remotely and very much following the Government’s advice to #StayHomeSaveLives.
Whilst Parliament rose on Wednesday for an unplanned recess without a doubt it has been the busiest week for me and my team since the General Election. Our job is to represent you in the very best way that we can and in these troubling times that job has never been more important.
What a difference a week makes. As I sit down to write my weekly update I reflect that none of us would have thought just a week ago that we would now be living under the absolutely necessary restrictions that we are.
This week has been a very busy one not just because of the first Budget of this Parliament but also because of the evolving situation in respect of Coronavirus (Covid-19).
The biggest story in this week’s news, both in the Palace of Westminster and the streets of Hinckley and Bosworth, has undoubtedly been the impact of Coronavirus and the Government’s reaction to it.
It is always wonderful to showcase the Hinckley and Bosworth constituency to members of the Government, there is no better way to make a case for this wonderful area than to have those with their hands on the policy and purse strings see it.
