Downing Street has announced that South West Wiltshire MP Andrew Murrison has been appointed Minister of State at the Foreign Office and at the Department for International Development. Dr Murrison is to join the Privy Council. 

Andrew Murrison has been looking into rough sleeping in his area and has visited a hostel in Trowbridge run by Wiltshire Council and the charity Alabare and funded under the government’s Rough Sleeper Initiative.

Andrew Murrison asked Theresa May for a moratorium on new waste incinerators including gasification and pyrolysis plants today at PMQs - starting with the proposed gasification plant that Hills Waste wants to inflict on Westbury.

Andrew took part in a debate held today in parliament on waste incineration, intervening to argue that if incinerators or variants like gasification plants of the sort that Hills Waste wants to build in Westbury are permitted at all, they should be sited well away from where people live.

Andrew Murrison has welcomed the announcement on Monday of 37 special free schools, including six in the south west. He has written to Wiltshire Council to see how this will affect its current consultation on provision in the county;

Local MP Andrew Murrison has joined 164 MPs across the House of Commons in lobbying Chancellor Philip Hammond for a better deal for Further Education colleges like Wiltshire College.
