My maiden speech in Parliament

Today I made my maiden speech in the House of Commons as the Member of Parliament for Rochester & Strood.

A Message from the Prime Minister; David Cameron

Over the last five years, we have put our country back on the right track. Five years ago, Britain was on the brink. As the outgoing Labour Treasury Minister put it with brutal candour, ‘there is no money’. Since then, we have turned things around. This has not happened by accident. It is the result of difficult decisions and of patiently working through our long-term economic plan. Above all, it is the product of a supreme national effort, in which everyone has made sacrifices and everyone has played their part.
