Welcome to my website. As Kingston and Surbiton's MP, I represent all local people, no matter which party you support. I hope this site has the information you want – and more.

If you want to meet or contact me, all the details are here, from my twice weekly advice sessions to my address, email and telephone numbers. Please contact me if you need my help - or if you want to help me with my local and national campaigns.


Edward Davey, MP for Kingston & Surbiton and Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change

Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change

On my appointment as the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change:

This is a sad day because Chris Huhne has had a real vision for a green economy and he’s done fabulous work as Secretary of State.

I’ve now got to take up the challenges - the challenge of climate change, the challenge of energy security.

New Waterloo Platform to open

The long-delayed announcement of extra carriages on some of Waterloo’s busiest routes and the use of platform 20 from the former Eurostar station for commuter services has been welcomed by Kingston and Surbiton’s Lib Dem MP, Edward Davey.

Kingston Hospital “top performer”

Kingston Hospital continues to perform well and improve, despite all the pressures, according to a raft of new figures and reports.

Fixing the economy

Fixing the economy is the Coalition Government’s top priority. And cutting Britain’s largest ever peacetime deficit remains critical to that - with tough decisions on public spending.

Credit Union for Kingston

Kingston could soon benefit from a local credit union, following a recent change to the law and new pumppriming capital from the Council. As a credit union is a not-for-profit lender, Kingston’s credit union could provide loans at competitive rates to people struggling with their finances.

Save money and build social capital

EDWARD DAVEY challenges FOCUS teams to enter for a new Innovation Challenge Prize……

This week in my role as Consumer Affairs Minister, I’ve launched a new Innovation Challenge prize for collective purchase, in association with Co-operatives UK.

The idea is a simple one – and an old one. When people club together, they can get things cheaper. Or afford better quality.

Clamping Down on Unexpected Bank Charges

We’ve all been there. A direct debit comes out days before pay day and pushes you ever so slightly over your overdraft limit, so you get whacked with a massive penalty fee by your bank. You step into a high street shop and are given the hard sell for a store card, you’re tempted by the discount and end up saddled with a stonking great interest rate you didn’t even realise you were signing up to.

Time, weather and maps

There are parts of Government that are more “fun” than others.

It’s all serious stuff, of course, but when I discovered I was Minister for Time, and then last summer was given new responsibilities as Minister for Weather and Maps, I knew someone, somewhere had a sense of humour.

Bank holidays and British Summer Time

Davey Takes On Banks Over Cash point Accessibility

Sovereign debt

If you want to borrow money – from a friend or a bank – the lender normally wants to know if you will pay them back. Not unreasonable.

If they think there’s a risk you may not pay back, you’ll be charged a higher interest rate for the loan.

Whether it’s you or me borrowing – or Britain or Greece – the credit market operates in basically the same way.
