Nick Boles: fighting your corner
12 MAY 2010

A new MP and a new PM!

Nick Boles arrived in Westminster today for the start of his induction as a new MP.  "It's been an extraordinary day," he said.  "David Cameron came to see all the newly elected Conservative MPs at lunchtime and told us he didn't have anything to do, as he was waiting to see if William Hague and George Osborne had pulled off a deal with the LibDems.  By the evening, he was Prime Minister and at 10 o'clock, we all trooped off to a meeting of the parliamentary party to greet the new PM and hear about the terms of the coalition agreement.  My only worry is that my first day in Parliament may turn out to be the most exciting one of all!"

Nick Boles elected as MP

 

Last Thursday Nick Boles was elected as the Member of Parliament for Grantham and Stamford.  He received over 26,000 votes and a majority of over 15,000.  After the result was announced, Nick said he knew that being elected was "just the beginning of the process of earning the trust of the people who live in south-west Lincolnshire."  He paid tribute to the other candidates and promised to learn from the Labour candidate's commitment to "justice for working people in Grantham", from the Liberal Democrat candidate's "passion for Stamford" and from the Independent candidate's "defiance in defense of everything uniquely Lincolnshire."

Young people get back on their feet

On Tuesday 27th April, Nick Boles visited Grantham Foyer which gives young people, who have been chucked out of the family home or find themselves homeless for other reasons, a place to stay and help getting into employment or training.  Nick said, "This is an excellent facility, helping young people, who are going through difficult times, get back onto their feet and build their independence. I am passionate about helping create better opportunities for young people in our area and I think Grantham Foyer is a vitally important part of the solution."
