This week my old friend and Liberal Democrat MP for Hereford Paul Keetch was officially appointed to the prestigious Foreign Affairs Select Committee. I have know Paul and his family for over a decade and helped out in his elections in 1997, 2001 and to an extent in 2005. This is a fantastic appointment for Paul and I know he will manage to scrutinise the Government well over Foreign Affairs.

Paul's experience as the Liberal Democrat Shadow Defence Secretary will have been valuable and will prove extremely beneficial in his new role now, well done Paul!
