		The first witness we have is the Rt Hon Ann Widdecombe, Member of Parliament, Maidstone and the Weald, and you should have in front of you a copy of her submission.
		A constituency which effectively only concerned itself with the town and possibly a small rural fringe would have very different interests from that of the Borough Council as a whole and I think it would seriously break the tie which there has always been between the urban and the rural in the Maidstone area.
		You have Ashford closer to quota on that basis, you have Maidstone and the Weald closer to quota, and you have Sittingbourne and Sheppey closer to quota.

	Ann Widdecombe
		Miss Ann Widdecombe (Maidstone and The Weald) (Con): I am grateful for the opportunity to have this Adjournment debate tonight and I also wish to record my gratitude to the usual channels on the Government side who ensured that I knew that I had to be here somewhat earlier than I might have predicted.
		We want to keep it, because it makes a major economic contribution to Maidstone and because we believe that we, in turn, provide the Army with a very good background against which troops can go abroad satisfied that their families are fully integrated into the local community.
		We value such close engagement of Members of Parliament and their local Ministry of Defence interests, whether they are military or civilian, or, indeed, both.

		It is possible that it may be held on 11 June 2009, to coincide with elections to the European Parliament; combining election dates is a common practice in the UK, in an effort to reduce costs and increase turnout.
		The four national Boundary Commissions are required by the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986 (as amended by the Boundary Commissions Act 1992) to conduct a general review of all the constituencies in its part of the United Kingdom every eight to twelve years to ensure the size and composition of constituencies are as fair as possible.

		When one thinks of Parliament as a profession, one thinks of other professions and the extent to which we, as a Parliament, reflect the nature of the society that we serve.
		For generations Parliament has been, broadly, a place to which people come from the law, medicine or other professions, but the composition of the House does not reflect the change that has occurred in society.
		Friend the Member for Maidstone and The Weald argued that positive discrimination is undesirable because it results in negative discrimination for others.

		I can confirm that, in my constituency, street preachers have been told that they may preach, but that they may not say that those who do not share their views are destined for hell, because that is insulting, apparently.
		Friend that that happens under the present law under which the Bill is proposed by the Government, and the consequence is that such things must fall foul of the more draconian penalties that would be visited under the law, as amended.

	Ann McKechin MP - Ann in Parliament - Speeches
		However, there was a sea change in attitudes in Scotland to homosexuality in the years after the unfortunate debacle when the Scottish Parliament legislated to remove the utterly iniquitous section 28 or, as it was known in Scotland, section 2A.
		Most Scots were deeply embarrassed about the hostile, macho, aggressive and narrow-minded manner in which that debate was conducted by a small minority of people in our community and the way in which Scotland was projected to the world as a result.
		Most of our constituents recognise that the Bill tackles the need to provide formal recognition for same-sex couples and to address the disadvantages that they face under our civil law.

		WIDDECOMBE SLAMS pink weddings!” “MP for Maidstone and The Weald claims common ground with UKIP!”; That an interview with Ann Widdecombe should provide controversial sound-bites is about as certain as her topping a poll of the nation’s worst haircuts.
		All the more since her chances of putting that haircut to a nationwide poll as leader of the Conservative Party were scuppered by what she referred to as a “little band of backbiters”.
		She’s been keeping busy with constituency work, caring for her elderly mother, writing a series of novels and, of course, appearing on TV shows from Celebrity Fit Club to Basil Brush.
