Farewell Angela
I was sad to see Angela Browning has announced that she will be retiring from the House of Commons. She was elected in 1992, but I knew her before then as she was a very effective spokesman for the Small Business Bureau. And it is thanks to her that I have taken up the cause of mental health in Parliament - it was she who alerted me to the closure of the Park Hospital in Oxford and encouraged me to campaign to keep it open. Angela will definitely be a loss to the Commons.
