Good luck in new job Gavin

With the shock revelations that have been coming out of Parliament that Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon has resigned following allegations of inappropriate behaviour, it is excellent news that we hear of the promotion of Chief Whip Gavin Williamson to Defence Secretary.

Gavin has been an excellent and hardworking Chief Whip and the Prime Minister believes he will make an excellent Defence Secretary and a trusted ally in one of the big cabinet jobs.

Gavin was central to the Conservative’s efforts in the deal with the DUP after the party lost its majority in June, and I wish him well.

Many congratulations Gavin!
