Armed Forces Day

I am looking forward to returning home this weekend as Hexham will be celebrating Armed Forces Day on Saturday. There is always a great turn out and it is a very proud day for me as an MP. During Local Government questions this week I was able to ask the minister if he shared my view that pubs should be encouraged to accept soldiers at all times after some of the stories we have all read about those in uniform being turned away from pubs down south. You can watch it HERE at 9 mins 5 seconds in and find out what the minister had to say...
