An early morning contribution to Dorset's BBC Radio Solent began my day. They wanted to talk to me about the Airborne Initiative on the back of a radio package from one of the YOIs that run the programme. In essence, it's about getting young men from prison out on to Dartmoor for a few days' tough activities. Former, and now sadly departed, MP for W Dorset Sir Jim Spicer picked up the idea from an experiment tried first in Scotland. He introduced it at the YOI on Portland before it was stopped there for a number of reasons, sadly. It's now carried out at YOI Feltham and YOI Brinsford and is proving an outstanding success. After a routine morning, it was down to the Chamber for PMQs. Corbyn launched into a tirade about the NHS, winding himself up spectacularly, no doubt for the benefit of his Facebook page, where contributions are carefully edited. I then had the most pleasurable task of meeting a group of children from Beechcroft St Paul's CE School from my constituency at the education centre. They were so charming and had plenty of questions to ply me with. At 1345 it was time for another session of the European Scrutiny Committee, which was in private. By this time, I had voted for the re-organisation of local government in Dorset. Later in the afternoon we learnt that the vote had carried the day with a huge majority. It also passed successfully through the Lords as well. Meanwhile, two Opposition debates on the East Coast Mainline and the NHS were running in the Chamber. The first turned personal, with Labour MPs using the opportunity to attack the Transport Secretary. The second debate on the NHS was no less constructive, with most Opposition MPs failing to talk to the motion itself, as one of our MPs pointed at towards the end.
