In Parliament this week..

As mentioned below, much of the attention (or at least the press gossip!) was on the LibDem leadership issue. However, I was pleased to be able to make speeches in two debates on themes in which I've had a particular interest: on Wednesday, a debate on road accidents and young drivers; and on Thursday, a debate about the role of the voluntary sector and charities (where I made reference to quite a few local organisations and issues). There was quite a lot of good stuff from a lot of MPs in both these debates, and hints of some welcome government action in both areas.
