Stroud’s MP has pledged to represent local constituents in Westminster, rather than simply act as a link between the Government and the constituency.

The MP said there can be “two different sorts of MP”: those who represent the Government locally and those who represent their constituency in Parliament.

“I try to make sure that I represent our constituency properly, and to the best of my ability, in Westminster.”
