Alan Beith's Work Recognised with Knighthood

June 14, 2008 12:01 AM

Liberal Democrat MP Alan Beith has been awarded a Knighthood in the 2008 Queen's Birthday Honours, in recognition for his services to Parliament.

Alan Beith, who has been the Member of Parliament for the Berwick-upon-Tweed constituency for 35 years, said:

"I am delighted, partly because this award is in recognition for services to Parliament, and I think the work of Parliament is important. It gets a bad name, sometimes deservedly, but we need an effective Parliament to hold the Government to account and I have spent a lot of my time trying to make it more effective.

"I am also grateful to all the people who help and support me, because without them I would not be able to do the job."

It was announced last year that Alan Beith will be standing as the Liberal Democrat candidate for Berwick-upon-Tweed at the next general election.

    If you are a resident of the Berwick-upon-Tweed constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
