Conservative — South West Devon

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 November 2026

Debate

Battle of the Somme: 110th Anniversary

Contribution

I agree with the hon. Gentleman 100%. I did not get to visit a cemetery site when I was young either, so I appreciate the situation his sister is in, but I got to when I was working for the commission. I pay tribute to my former colleagues, the public engagement co-ordinators at the commission, who go out to schools right across the country to ensure that the next generation can understand and hear some of these stories.
