Who is the living person you most admire?

Sir Steven Redgrave. An awesome sportsman and ambassador for sport.

What is your favourite TV programme?

Pointless. I enjoy most quiz programs but this is my favourite.

What song would you take with you to a desert island?

The Beatles’ Help. They reflect my music era and would reflect my situation!

What new law do you want to introduce?

A law to stop local authorities selling off green space without a referendum. Unfortunately Solihull Council has a history of doing this. It should require a referendum.

What is the most important issue facing your constituents?

The drop in living standards due to coalition policy. First time in living memory this has happened over lifetime of a Parliament. Banks caused the crash, not Solihull residents.
