An early morning run in glorious sunshine. Then into the House, some routine matters and then down to the Chamber for Foreign Office Questions. I had one to ask but I was also interested to see how the Opposition dealt with our Boris, he having missed the Heathrow vote yesterday. As it turned out, it was all rather a damp squib, with Boris avoiding the worst excesses of the Chamber as those comments directed at him on this subject were easily batted away! I asked a question relating to human rights in Turkey, where President Erdogan has stamped all over democracy with a new set of rules that empowers him even further. My concern today was for the hundreds of journalists, with whom I have an affinity, having been one myself for many years, who are locked up in prison in conditions that I very much doubt meet anything like the proper standards. A working lunch and then off to meet minister David Rutley with a constituent, Nicholas Warner, and Dr Michael Simons. The Government is threatening to impose a MCZ on Studland Bay, a popular boating and tourist area, with one option being to prevent boats from using this picturesque anchorage in the future in order to protect eel grass and sea horses. The views of those wanting to imposed a MCZ could not be further apart from those who don't. Mr Warner and his team of objectors have voiced their opposition for a long, long time, arguing that the evidence that eel grass and sea horses are at risk is deeply flawed. Dr Simons is extremely knowledgeable on this subject and produced some extremely relevant research to back his view that eel grass has in fact expanded over the years. Mr Warner made his point that this bay has been used by boat owners for decades and is a vital location for those wanting to enjoy our lovely beaches and of course to support the local rural economy. There is a consultation running now and I would urge people to take part. Our meeting ended after the agreed time of 30 minutes with the Division Bell, so I had to say my farewells and head off to vote. At 1630 I headed down to No 9 Downing Street for a meeting with the Chief Whip. I am part of a small group of MPs who are keen to ensure Brexit is delivered in full and these meetings are a useful way of exchanging information with the powers that be. They are held in confidence. Back to the House and then into CR18 for another meeting of the ERG. Its chairman, Jacob Rees-Mogg was in n Ireland, so another colleague stood in most ably. Despite the EU Withdrawal Bill receiving Royal assent, there is still much to discuss to ensure we get the Brexit the referendum demanded.
