Latest Events in Midhurst(September Updated)

I am holding one of my regular ‘In Conversation’ events to give residents in and around Midhurst the chance to come along, to hear from me as their Parliamentary representative and to have an independent local journalist to put me on the spot. There will be the opportunity for the audience to ask questions too. Too many people feel remote from the important work that goes on in Parliament. As a former businessman myself, I recognise that headline party politics may be a turn off for many, but it is still Parliament that has to make important decisions on so many issues that the country faces. Respected local journalist, Gary Shipton, Editor of the West Sussex County Times, will interview me and then chair questions from the audience. Gary is a member of the industry-wide Editors' Code committee which sets journalistic standards. Alongside Gary's journalistic career, he is a Deputy Lieutenant of West Sussex, an unpaid role in which he helps to celebrate the county and those who make a real difference in it. Due to security considerations, the location will be provided via email first thing on the day of the event, only registered attendees will be admitted and Photo ID may be required for entry.
