Visited Mr Speaker with other Conservative Members from the 2005 intake and enjoyed tea, biscuits and the view of the Thames from his sumptuous apartments.
Speaker Martin was anxious to know how we were settling in, and whether there was anything he could do to make our lives easier. We spent an hour in his company.
He is a wise and kindly man and doesn’t deserve the rough ride he sometimes gets from the press. He has the loneliest and most important job in Parliament and takes it very seriously indeed. I like and respect him a lot.
