Geoffrey Clifton-Brown MP

for The Cotswolds and Shadow Minister for International Trade and Development

Welcome to my web site

Welcome to my web site

It is my pleasure and privilege to serve the people of the Cotswolds. Since first being elected to Parliament in 1992, it has been my aim to provide a strong voice for local people. I am always conscious that my primary role is to represent the residents of the Cotswolds.

I hope this site gives you an insight into the work I do on behalf of my constituents; both at Westminster and in the Cotswolds. I was sent to the House of Commons to speak up and vote for the people of the Cotswolds.

On this website, you will find examples of some other issues and projects that I have recently been involved with. Please click on the link below to hear me speaking in the House in defence of Post Offices across the Cotswolds.

I hope that any constituent, regardless of political persuasion will feel free to contact me using the contact page, by post at the House of Commons or through the constituency office in Gloucestershire.
