I very much hope that the Christmas Day will be a happy time for all my constituents with a chance to spend time with friends and family.
Those of us enjoying our Christmas Day festivities are of course reliant on folk continuing to work in essential services, including the NHS, the Ambulance Service, the Police and the Fire Service. I thank all those staff for the work they do day in day out but especially on public holidays like today.
Wishing all my constituents a very happy Christmas.
