Eddie made his maiden speech to the House of Commons on the evening of Monday 3rd July. He thanked David Winnick for his service to Parliament and Walsall North and raised the importance of delivering Brexit for Walsall North. Here is the text of his speech:

We all want the best education for our children, so I have today written to the National Schools Commissioner regarding Willenhall E-ACT Academy. Immediate action needs to be taken to address the ongoing issues at the school. It is not good enough for pupils, staff and parents.

I know that many people living in tall residential buildings will have concerns about safety after what happened at Grenfell Tower so an update on the national and local response in Walsall.

This morning I was in the House of Commons where the Prime Minister made a statement.

After all the campaigning, voting, results and being sworn in as your MP last Thursday, today was officially the first day of the new Parliament.

A big thank you from Eddie Hughes

Early on Friday morning, Eddie was elected as the Member of Parliament for Walsall North, the first Conservative to win the seat since 1979.

Only a vote for Eddie Hughes and Theresa May next Thursday 8th June, will deliver the best Brexit deal for Walsall North.

Britain is an open economy and a welcoming society and we will always ensure that our British businesses can recruit the brightest and best from around the world.

Life expectancy and health problems for people in Walsall North are lagging behind the national averages. This isn't good enough, we have much more to do.

We have not built enough homes in this country for generations, and buying or renting a home is becoming increasingly unaffordable. We need modern, high quality homes and we need to work with both private and social housing sectors to deliver.
