Jim Knight MP - Dorset's voice in Government

Welcome to my website.

It covers my work in Dorset, in Parliament, and on national campaigns. It now also contains more political information and views, with more opportunities for you to feedback what you think. 

So let me know what you think,
and how I can help.

I went on to meet trade union officials at ABRO in Bovington, they had some concerns over the future of the agency that I promsied to take up with Government.
The day began with calls from the local media on MPs' travel expenses before I went out to meet constituents at a coffee morning in Westham, visit Julia House, the children's hospice that serves Dorset.
 I was delighted to be the cheapest MP in Dorset! The detailed breakdown of the travel claims is:

Jim Knight - £2,556
Annette Brooke - £3,631
Bob Walter - £7,066
Oliver Letwin - £4,081
Christopher Chope - £5,444
Tobias Ellwood - £3,655
John Butterfill - £4,133
Robert Syms - £4,841

Given my Tory friends' recent conversion to environmental causes it was interesting to note their car claim averaged £4,143, compared to mine at £784. I prefer to use the train and have always thought it surprising that the only other Dorset MP I've ever seen using the service is Libdem MP Annette Brooke.
