While MPs debate the Queen’s Speech, which sets out the Government’s ambitious domestic agenda for the year ahead, I want to update constituents on the very welcome news that schools throughout #Worcestershire will receive millions of pounds in additional funding from next April.

Today the Queen opened a new session of Parliament and laid out the Government’s ambitious domestic legislative agenda for the year ahead.

It was a pleasure to be asked by Marc Kings from Direct Sports Provision to open the PE & Sports Conference at Pershore this morning, promoting physical and mental wellbeing at schools and helping teachers with their professional development.

Thank you to Cherril and Derrick Barker of JMDA Design for taking the time to show me around and talk about your business.

I warmly welcome the announcement that West Mercia Police has been given additional financial investment by the Government to recruit an extra 93 police officers next year.

Last weekend, I attended another great annual, fun, family event in the Vale of Evesham: the Evesham Mop.

I had a great time on the Ferris Wheel and sampling the great food vans - a burger at a fair is the definition of comfort eating.

It was good to catch up with the local West Mercia police team last week at the wonderful Dolphin Pub in Bishampton at a community coffee morning.

While the weather was nice I recently visited Spetchley Park Gardens and, along Jak Abrahams from BASC, I placed a bird box within the grounds as part of BASC's nationwide bird conservation project.

This Sunday I'm supporting Silver Sunday in my constituency. Silver Sunday is a day to celebrate and cherish the older people in our families and communities and encourage activities, days out and events which connect the old, young and everyone in-between.

The UK Government has provided the European Union with fresh, new proposals to break the current Brexit impasse.
