Simon Burns with David Cameron
Welcome to my website.
Since I was elected as Member of Parliament for the Chelmsford area in 1987, I have fought to the best of my abilities, for the interests of all my constituents regardless of their political affiliations.
This website is designed to enable you to learn more about what I am doing in Westminster, and in Chelmsford, on your behalf. You will find my contributions to a whole range of debates on important national and local issues. You can also find articles I have written, recent speeches I have made, and up-to-date news.
Whether you would like to contact me about a constituency problem or a political issue, or, if you are simply interested in finding out more about the work that I do, then I hope you will find this website useful.
