 Peter Lilley Says "Thank You"
I am immensely grateful to the electors of Hitchin and Harpenden for giving me the privilege of continuing to represent this constituency in Parliament. It is encouraging to receive a record overall majority.
I shall continue to work for the whole constituency, dealing with problems individuals raise with me and issues like threats to our local Green Belt which affect all of us regardless of which party we support. And I will continue to hold my House Meetings street by street and month by month. If you would like to hold one or attend the one nearest to you please contact Geraldine Mitchell in my constituency office on 01582 834344 or by email: tory-herts@btconnect.com
Although the result in this constituency was clear cut the electorate did not give any party an overall majority. So David Cameron was right to recognise that coalition was the only way to provide the strong and stable government this country needs to tackle the appalling economic crisis.
That will involve some very painful decisions - affecting people in the public sector and those who rely on their services. The key is to try to protect the most vulnerable which, by common consent, the budget strove to do.
I have been pleased at the number of people in the public sector who have responded to the challenge by coming to me with ideas for making substantial efficiency savings which are the key to protecting services both locally and nationally.
