  • I Returned from the Party Conference in Brighton on Wednesday Evening
    www.JohnCryerMP.co.uk I returned from the party conference in Brighton on Wednesday evening. Ed Miliband’s promise to freeze power prices has clearly had some impact. He has been attacked by many parts of the media and by the big six energy companies. The continuing refrain from metropolitan commentators is that this is “populist”. Well, if that means it’s popular then it’s perfectly true. A fairly high proportion of my correspondence at the moment from all parts of the constituency concerns rising energy prices. While publicly the government is rubbishing the pledge, privately they are wondering how they can counter it. As you know from previous reports, I think that we should also be committed to holding a referendum on EU membership. We cannot go into the elections next year without it when the other parties are promising a vote. There is now a growing campaign against the Lobbying Bill and I enclose recent interventions I made in the House of Commons which explain where I stand. I recently spoke at a rally at the gates of Whipps Cross Hospital in protest at what is looking like a threat to the hospital’s future. The recent prosecutions and damning report by the CQC are arousing suspicions as to the direction of a trust which is in deep financial trouble. As well as the usual surgeries, street surgeries and home visits. Best wishes, John 9 Sep 2013 : Column 682 Education Questions Topical Questions 9th September John Cryer (Leyton and Wanstead) (Lab): How many civil servants at the Department for Education are working on the free schools programme? Michael Gove: More than 100 civil servants are working on the free schools programme—a testimony to its popularity.
