Westminster this week -Syrian refugees, lunch with Sir John Major & Electrification Task Force

Education questions at 2.30 today, and my meeting with Andrew Jones MP, who leads the Electrification Task Force that advises the Secretary of State for Transport. Later we have both the PMs reaction to the European Council meeting and the votes on the recall bill and the 38 degrees / Zac Goldsmith amendments to the Recall Bill at 10pm.
Tuesday I am much looking forward to a lunch with Sir Joh Major, our former Prime Minister. I have also got a question to the Foreign Secretary on Syrian refugees and the support given to them by the UN. There is likely to be a debate about David Freud that day as well, as the opposition have an opposition day debate on Tuesday. I will oppose efforts to get rid of Freud.
Wednesday is PMQs and a bunch of Home Office meetings spilling over into Thursday, where there are a number of backbench business debates. We have several constituents coming to the Commons this week for tours, events or to meet me and raise issues. A busy week.
