One of the cheeriest things a Member of Parliament can do for their constituents is to arrange for them to visit the Houses of Parliament for a tour of the historic buildings which make up the Palace estate. I was very pleased that the families of Jacob Edwards and Jessica Davis, who were, respectively, the winner and runner up in my Christmas card competition last year got in touch with my office to book visits, and very kindly sent photos of the children in Parliament too.
If you would like to visit the Houses of Parliament, and live in the Brentwood and Ongar constituency, please get in touch using the details below:
