Welcome to my website. My number one priority as a Member of Parliament is to work hard to represent the people of East Dunbartonshire at Westminster. In addition to this, I pursue green issues through my membership of the Environmental Audit Select Committee and speak on behalf of the Liberal Democrats as Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs.

On this site you can find information about my surgery times, recent news and issues I'm campaigning on, such as reducing excess packaging. You can also listen to my regular podcasts and watch video clips of Parliament by clicking on the New Media button.

If you have any comments, queries or matters with which I can be of assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me using the email address above.
