Christopher Pincher MP Overview Christopher Pincher is the new Housing Minister, appointed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson in his February re-shuffle. He is the 10th Housing Minister since 2010 and 19th since 1997, taking over the position from Esther McVey. He is the member of Parliament for Tamworth and was first elected in 2010. During his time as an MP he has served as Deputy Government Chief Whip and Treasurer of the Household, alongside Minister of State for Europe and the Americas. Background Before entering Parliament, Pincher’s professional background was as an IT Consultant. He has been an active member of the Conservative Party since the political turbulence of the 80s, previously serving as Chairman of the Islington North Constituency Association. He was vocal on housing issues before he was elected to Parliament, once calling on housebuilding giant, Persimmon, to resume and complete construction of the Tame Alloys Estate in Wilnecote when it was half built at the time. Pincher’s parliamentary career has featured him being vocal on a number of occasions. Notably, he was once a strong critic of HS2 because of the initially proposed route to go through parts of his Tamworth constituency and defended most affected residents against accusations of nimbyism. What can we expect? There is already a significant amount of speculation about what we can expect to see from the new Housing Minister. Based on his past, we know that Pincher has a balanced approach to development without clear biases; this can be seen with his proactive approach to pushing Persimmon with the Tame Alloys Estate on the one hand and taking the side of residents with HS2 on the other. His past voting record has been marked with Pincher: • Voting to reduce housing benefit for social housing tenants • Voting against raising welfare benefits to be in line with prices • Phasing out secure tenancies • Charging a market rent to high earners renting a council home We will need to wait and see how long Pincher is allowed to settle into the role before becoming just another former Housing Minister. In all likelihood, we see him put in this position for his ability to toe the party line (a key theme with some of Boris Johnson’s re- shuffle appointments) expecting him to stick to the Government’s manifesto priorities, namely the key messaging and target of building 300,000 homes a year in England by the mid 2020s and 1 million by the end of the Parliament. In short, we expect more of the same. Contact Email – [email protected] Phone – 020 7219 7169.

Draft Letter to the Prime Minister
HOUSE OF COMMONS LONDO sw 1A OAA Rt. Hon. David Cameron MP Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London SW1A2AA Dear Prime Minister, As Members of Parliament for Staffordshire, we write to express our deep concern at the withdrawal of 3rd Battalion, the Mercian Regiment (The Staffards) from the Order of Battle. The Battalion has a proud history which can be traced back to its first raising at the King's Head Inn, Lichfield, in 1705. It served in Martinique, South Africa, Flanders, Gallipoli, Anzio and Arnhem. More recently, photographs of 3 Mercian fighting in Basra, became defining images of the Iraq campaign. We all recognise the difficult financial climate and the constraints that imposes on the Ministry of Defence. We understand that savings must be made. However, we also know that the decision to withdraw 3 Mercian will be distressing for all those currently serving, particularly those that might face redundancy, for their families and for those former Staffards who proudly recall their service. We know that it is the responsibility of the Mercian Regiment, as reorganised, to decide how best to reflect its history and antecedents. But as there is no longer any senior former Stafford serving on its staff, we hope that you will do all you can to encourage the Regiment to preserve and cherish the symbols, traditions and heritage of 3 Mercian within its ranks. 2 Mercian is known now as the Worcester and Sherwood Foresters as a result of previous amalgamations and we hope that a similar formula can be found to remember the Staffords.

Surgery Reconfiguration Public Engagement Report
Surgery Reconfiguration Public Engagement Report PB March 2015 Executive Summary After an extended period of public engagement, over 18 weeks from 16thOctober 2014 to 9th February 2015, the feedback has been collated in this report. Overall, there appears to be an acceptance that the Trust cannot continue to provide surgical services in the current form given the external factors influencing healthcare delivery and the evidence that centralisation of services improves clinical outcomes. It is clear that the population is passionate about the retention of their local hospitals and the proposal to keep all outpatient appointments and investigation services delivered locally is popular. Concern remains over transport and travel and whilst the Trust is exploring possible solutions to this there is a degree of public scepticism that the issues will be resolved satisfactorily, which is likely to remain until such time as concrete plans have been developed and implemented. There has been almost no feedback from patients or the public relating to how the changes will affect the likely outcomes of undergoing surgery. This was explained at events with provision of the evidence on the website and so the lack of feedback may indicate it is not a contentious issue. There is little difference between the feedback received from each site although there has been a better response from Good Hope in terms of numbers, possibly due to the additional awareness created by local lobby groups. Whilst there appears to be acknowledgement that redesigning surgical services is the right approach, it is likely that individuals will resist change when it directly affects them or the services they access.
