I regularly use debates, questions and votes to raise issues of local concern. As part of my campaigning, I have also delivered petitions to Number 10 and signed and proposed Parliamentary Motions.

As Treasury Spokesman for the Liberal Democrats, I am closely involved with our campaign against the tiny 75p rise in the basic state pension. I regularly brief the new Liberal Democrat leader, Charles Kennedy, as he tackles Labour’s pension mistakes at Prime Minister’s Questions.

Tolworth Girl's School pupils and Edward Davey petition Tony Blair on the Jubilee 2000 campaign to cancel unpayable third world debt.

My appointment to the Treasury Select Committee allows me to question people like Gordon Brown and Eddie George, the Governor of the Bank of England, face-to-face. My main focus so far has been the need to reduce the value of sterling for exporters and the spending review so vital for services like the NHS.

I also served on two key committees - one looking at the Budget and one at the Government Resources and Accounts Bill, which will make public spending more open to scrutiny and improve value-for-money.

Key votes were:

Against the Government on:
• Removal of right to elect for jury trial
• Pension rise of 75p (too small!)
• Post office closures

With the Government on:
• New public rights of way - "right to roam"
• Higher standards in social care
• Northern Ireland Peace Process

I now publish details of my voting record on my website.

I have requested that the Commons’ Library put every MP’s voting record on the web.
