questions David has asked the Government as well as short speeches and points
he has made in House of Commons Chamber
Offender Management Bill
The Offender Management Bill is currently passing through Parliament, the majority
of which deals with the privatisation of the probation service.
However, I was very disturbed to read that part of the legislation will allow for
young offenders to be released from custody before the halfway point of their sentence,
and also that unsecured children’s homes will be used to incarcerate young thugs.
This is the link to the speech I gave on the subject on
December 11th 2006.

The NHS in Wales
When I first came to Westminster one of my main tasks was to highlight areas of
Welsh Assembly Governance which I found to be lacking.
I called for a Westminster Hall debate to discuss the failures of the NHS in Wales
and the culpability of the Welsh Assembly – follow this link to read my speech,
made on 12th July 2005.

Transport in Wales
My first big political speech in the House of Commons related to the Transport for
Wales Bill. This was a good forum to bring up local issues relating to speed limits
and traffic congestion.

June 2005, please follow this link:

Maiden Speech
Before an M.P. is allowed to get involved in political debates in the House of Commons
chamber they must fist give their Maiden Speech, which is basically a “getting to
know you” talk so everyone knows who you are.
I wanted to get this done as quickly as possible so I could get involved in the
action, and I was the first of the new Conservative MPs to do so, 13 days after
the General Election on May 18th
2005.
