I was first elected to represent the people of North East Hampshire in 1997, again in 2001 and 2005.
In addition to my work for North East Hampshire, I am also Chairman of the House of Commons Defence Select Committee.
On this website, you’ll find information about my work in parliament and details about the local campaigns I am involved with, as well as news stories and copies of my "Westminster Report".
Please get in touch if there is anything you wish to discuss, or if you think I can be of help.
