Peddled into the Commons early to attend my first meeting with the Chancellor of the Exchequer at 11 Downing Street at 0900. Sajid Javid had kindly asked MPs representing seats in the SW to a breakfast meeting to chat through national and constituency issues before the Budget early next month. The whole Treasury team was there and over coffee and croissants we mingled with our ministerial colleagues for about an hour. I raised two major infrastructure projects that we need to boost the economy of not only S Dorset but other seats too in counties like Hampshire. The first was a road north. To get north, we have to drive more than an hour east before taking the A34 north. The second was upgrading the Salisbury line and Yeovil Junction. The existing line through Bournemouth and Poole is at full capacity so I am keen to explore increasing it on the Salisbury line, which would benefit not just S Dorset but many other seats on that line. At 1125 I met my Godson and one of his Sergeants, both serving in the Scots Guards, who had wanted to watch PMQs. It was hear that many of us heard more detail about the appalling situation near Purfleet Docks in Essex. To everyone's horror, 39 bodies had been found in the back of a refrigerated lorry near the docks, one of them a teenager. Clearly, these were migrants attempting to enter the UK. The lorry driver was arrested, although not much is known about him or his connection, if any, with people-trafficking. Both the PM and Corbyn made sombre statements, which the whole House concurred with. I can think of nothing worse than dying in the back of a truck. No doubt we will learn a lot more about this terrible incident in the days ahead. The Speaker kept the PM in the Chamber for about an hour, which is another piece of jiggery-pokery as the session is meant to last for only 30 minutes. A quick sandwich at my desk, before heading to CR 19 for our weekly European Scrutiny Committee. It was a private session and lasted about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, the debate on the Queen's Speech continued, which ended at about 1900 with a vote on a Labour amendment.
