WATCH: Sarah Green is sworn into Parliament

By | Tue 22nd June 2021 - 9:11 am


It was a big occasion yesterday! After an announcement by Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle, Sir Ed Davey escorts in Sarah Green, who bows three times and then swears the oath of allegiance in English and Welsh. (Sarah is the second consecutive MP for Chesham and Amersham who is Welsh-born). She then signs the register and is congratulated by the Speaker, while a cheer goes up. Wonderful stuff!

    Sarah was already at work in the constituency on Saturday, whilst her graceless Conservative opponent was still whining about the result on Sunday.
