Following the devastating news of the killing of Sir David Amess MP during a constituency surgery last Friday, Richard Fuller, Member of Parliament for North East Bedfordshire said:
The right for people to meet, and challenge, their Member of Parliament is a distinctive and truly valuable part of our democracy. It’s what helps make peaceful society work: debating, perhaps disagreeing, with this we entrust with power, but ultimately accepting a democratic decision.
This is one reason, of many, why the death of Sir David Amess is a public tragedy as well as a devastating family tragedy. My prayers are with his family and with his staff who helped him today and throughout his years of service as a Member of Parliament.
