I want to update you all, that I have resigned from my role as Parliamentary Private Secretary, to the Department of Transport.
Trust in politics is - and must always be - of the utmost importance, but sadly in recent months this has been lost.
Thank you to all of you who have written to me expressing your views. I have read them carefully, and taken them into consideration as part of my decision.
I have, and will always, put the residents of Sevenoaks and Swanley front and centre of my work in Westminster.
