Paul Keetch MP

WELCOME TO PAUL KEETCH MP'S WEBSITE

In November 2006 Paul Keetch made the decision to stand down as MP at the next General Election. This means that Paul stays as MP for the Hereford constituency until the next General Election, which must be called by June 2010. His position as MP does not change in the meantime. He is still living in Hereford and has an office there. He can still help his constituents as always. Paul can be contacted via this website or by visiting an advice surgery, details of which can be found on this website.

Sarah Carr has been chosen by the Liberal Democrats to succeed Paul and she will be standing at the next General Election. Sarah was Paul's campaign manager when he was first elected in 1997. Sarah will continue to be a strong voice for Hereford, Ross-on-Wye and South Herefordshire in Parliament should she be elected.

Quotes of the Week

"Anyone who wants to pass laws in this country should pay this country's full taxes and not hide behind the special offshore status of non-doms. Non-doms have to tell the taxman that their first allegiance is to another country. No-one should be a British lawmaker whose first allegiance is not to Britain."

Chris Huhne, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary

"I think people are entitled to expect a sensible, stable government at a time when the country is facing very, very acute choices. We take what the markets are worrying about immensely seriously. We will not take any risk with the creditworthiness of the economy."

Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats
