Jim Paice MP For South East Cambridgeshire Has Accepted A New Position In The Coalition Government

Jim Paice MP for South East Cambridgeshire has accepted a new position in the Coalition Government.

Jim Paice was asked by the Prime Minister to become the new Minister of Agriculture and Food with in DEFRA (the Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.)

According to his website Jim said, 

   

   “I was honoured to be asked by David Cameron to take on this role which I have spent much time preparing for in Opposition. I came into politics with a desire to change things for the better, especially for rural communities, and I believe that this position within the new Government will offer me real opportunities to do that.”

Concerning the new Government Jim goes on to say,

   

   “Obviously I fought this election seeking an outright Conservative win, but we must respect the verdict of the electorate. Our country needs strong, stable and decisive government and I believe that working together with the Liberal Democrats means that we can offer this. Although coalitions necessarily involve compromise, I sincerely hope that we will all put the national interest first.”

I have been in touch with Jim Paice and he has agreed to answer some questions concerning his views on the coalition and its development in terms of its policies. 

If any of you would like me to put a question to Jim on your behalf then please contact me.
