Welcome to my website. I hope you are able to find useful information in here about my work in Parliament, over the last 28 years. In my current role as Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons I do not have the opportunity to put questions to the government, or participate in debate, so there isn’t the constant source of new material for the site that my activity in the  House used to provide.  However, I do make speeches outside Parliament, write articles from time to time, and have articles written about me, or which refer to me.  We will try to post these as they arise.
