Prime Minister Theresa May today announced that MPs will vote on Brexit deal in the week of 14 January, with debates on the Withdrawal Agreement restarting in the week of 7 January.

It was a delight to visit Steve Willis Training Centre in Portchester to see the work being done in ‘skilling up’ local young people.

I lent a helping hand at Naomi House Charity Shop on West Street in Fareham.

My parents emigrated to the United Kingdom from Kenya and Mauritius in the 1960s. They were born during the British Empire and admired this country. The UK that inspired them was one that was confident in the world, pioneering in statecraft and fearless in the face of adversity.

In a letter sent by First Bus Managing Director Marc Reddy, he stated that a lack of customers and possible disruption to the current route make any service to FCH unviable and would not be profitable enough to run, despite only meaning a minor change to the route. 

I have joined calls for people to support small, independent businesses in Fareham as part of Small Business Saturday.

I spoke in the chamber  on behalf of Fareham residents who have been affected by the Gosport War Memorial scandal.

It is now confirmed that an external police force is investigating the basis for criminal charges.

I am grateful to everyone who has written to me on the last weeks and days regarding Brexit and my resignation. 

Resigning was never part of the plan. As a new Minister working on the historic mission of withdrawing from the EU- a job I enjoyed and a quest about which I am passionate- the plan was to give it my all.

I am always immensely impressed by the talent and creativity of children in Fareham – so my Christmas Card Competition is an excellent opportunity to showcase their work.
