My visit to Chequers!

Submitted by Heather on 13 December 2011 - 3:48pm

I had the fantastic opportunity to join the Prime Minister at Chequers with 20 or so of my Parliamentary colleagues for dinner on Friday the 9th of December. It was a real pleasure to see the Prime Minister in the comfort of this historic home when away from No 10.

As you may be aware he joined our dinner party shortly after returning home from Brussels where he did not agree to a new EU treaty as he felt that it would not provide adequate safeguards for Britain. I personally welcomed his decision to use Britain’s power to veto a new EU treaty. I have campaigned persistently, since I was elected, for Britain to repatriate powers back from Europe and I think Mr Cameron’s decision was a step in the right direction.
 
Despite the Prime Minister only having two hours sleep the night before he was high spirits. We had a beautiful dinner and the atmosphere was fantastic. It was great to speak to the Prime Minister again, especially following his visit to South Derbyshire on the 24th of November to welcome the excellent announcements of £210m investment and 1800 new jobs at Toyota and Nestle.
 
I will endeavour to keep you updated on developments in Europe and on any further information I have from the Prime Minister regarding our position.
