Madam Deputy Speaker, I am grateful for being able to say a few words this afternoon, not least because I am a member of the Transport Committee.

Today, the House of Commons will again be voting on the manner in which Britain leaves the EU. I want to explain to constituents how I am voting, and why.

The Transport Select Committee, of which I am a member, has launched its inquiry on Rail Timetabling with an evidence session from bosses of our local train operator, GTR, and Network Rail. As a member, I want to get answers from this inquiry for those in the region impacted.

Bexhill and Battle MP, Huw Merriman, attended a Carers Week event with carers and charities in Westminster, to celebrate and recognise the vital contribution made by those who care and support for family members or friends.
