I had been due to head to the Commons, but a number of factors, including the fact we were on a one-line, led me to remain in Dorset, heading to London in the evening. There was a lot going on, both in the constituency and up in London. The Sandbanks ferry was once again attempting to raise its fees, much to constituents' concern. I am working with Dorset Council to have their request challenged by the Department of Transport, as it has been in the past. I am also working on the contentious issue of nitrates and Poole Harbour. The Environment Agency has not covered itself in glory by changing the goalposts in the way this is measured, angering many farmers I work with. On a broader front, I had been working with colleagues, both political and military, to challenge the MOD's plan to change the way military housing is allocated. In simple terms, it would change from one of rank to the size of the family. This was causing deep concern with officers' wives, who have been campaigning vociferously to stop the change. By chance, our Defence Committee have the minister in front of us tomorrow afternoon, so we made every effort to make the Secretary of State aware of the opposition to what is called the New Accommodation Offer. Late today, I was told the proposal was to be withdrawn and reviewed. I was delighted. Meanwhile, the row over comments made by my friend and colleague Lee Anderson rumbled on. He admitted that suggesting London Mayor Sadiq Khan was controlled by Islamists was clumsy, but he was trying to make the point that he was fed up with these weekly marches through London by pro-Palestinians which were nothing more than intimidation. I know several people who've been unwittingly caught up in these protests and they told me they are extremely unpleasant. Not only that, but it is costing the police multi-millions of pounds. The government outlined further details of how it would redirect funding from the scrapped northern legs of the HS2 rail line. And, good news, the final hurdle in Sweden joining Nato was removed on Monday when Hungary's parliament voted to ratify its membership after more than a year of delay.
