THE first thing I must do as I settle back behind my desk in the House of Commons is to thank my constituents for the great privilege of being returned once again as your Member of Parliament.

The election campaign in Mid-Worcestershire was conducted in an excellent spirit and my thanks go to the other candidates for that.

Now my work begins once again - work to ensure that our county and our communities get the services that they deserve. Their will be a lot to do, and I am very grateful for being given the chance to do it. Thank you very much indeed.

Peter Luff, MP for Mid Worcestershire
