With it being close to Independence Day in America I thought I might celebrate the great relationship we have with the United States by doing two American themed events.
Recently I had the honour of welcoming Chairman Bob Goodlatte, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee and Member of the House of Representatives, along with a group of other American Political Delegates. During a tour I was able to speak about political times ahead and also to talk about ways of extending our good relationship with the United States to ensure that even in political difficulties we maintain a strong friendship.
As well as welcoming Chairman Goodlatte to Parliament, I also had the honour of attending the American Ambassador’s Summer Reception in London alongside the Home Secretary. There were four thousand guests and it was a fantastic opportunity to chat to many people from all walks of life who keep Anglo-American relations so strong and mutually beneficial to both our countries.Â
