Congratulations to TRG Patron, John Bercow MP, on his election to the office of Speaker. The TRG were fortunate enough to have two Patrons as front-runners in the race to become Speaker, John Bercow and Sir George Young. Both were outstanding candidates for the Speakership. We wish John every success in the Chair and we urge Conservatives to follow Sir George’s call and give John the support he is entitled to.
John promises to be a breath of fresh air in the House. He is a Parliamentarian to his fingertips, has pledged to support much needed reform of the Commons and, crucially, will be a strong voice for Parliament. Already he has shown himself to be at home in the Speaker’s Chair and put in a commendable performance at his first PMQs. Long may his success continue.
