MP Richard Drax, North Dorset MP Simon Hoare and

In a letter signed by all eight Dorset MPs, they state he has the "vision
and the knowledge to help make Dorset safer".
"Although the force has a fantastic team of officers who work hard
day-in and day-out, we all feel that the Office for Dorset Police and
Crime Commissioner would benefit from strong, experienced
leadership.
"Having talked with Andrew we know he has a strong plan to improve
policing."
The letter was signed by Conservative MPs Richard Drax
Dorset), Simon Hoare (North Dorset), Michael Tomlinson (Mid
& North Poole), Oliver Letwin (West Dorset), Chris
(Christchurch), Tobias Ellwood (Bournemouth East), Conor
(Bournemouth West) and Robert Syms (Poole).

will be sworn in on May 12.

Conor backs campaign to save Beales

Conor talking with Dominic Trooper of Beales department store.

Conor has signed a petition at Beales Department Store in the
centre of Bournemouth. The landlords have applied for planning
permission to convert the top four floors of the store into 11 one
bedroom flats and 65 studio apartments. This would result in the
closure of much of the store and would be a great loss to the
town's shopping offer if these plans were to go ahead. The store
has served the people of Bournemouth and its visitors since
1881. You can object to the planning application by clicking

A letter from Conor Burns: the tone of the

EU debate has been poor, but remain
campaigners are wrong
Bournemouth Echo
Saturday 9th April 2016Bottom of Form
Britain faces the most important
decision for a generation in
June. People of principle and patriotism are on both sides. Each
should set out their reasons with positive conviction.
The late Lord Denning gave good advice saying that, two reasonable
persons could perfectly reasonably come to opposite conclusions on
the same set of facts without forfeiting their right to be regarded as
reasonable. That should inform the tone of the debate that has been
poor to date.
In the 1970s Britain voted to join the EEC the Common Market.
Now we find ourselves members of a European Union that has a flag,
an anthem, a currency, a Parliament and a supreme Court with power
to veto UK laws. I do not begrudge our continental neighbours they
right to forge this political union. I simply dont believe it is right for
Britain.
Many scare stories are being put about by people who should know
better about what leaving the EU would mean for jobs and security.
Most are absolutely false. However outside the EU one thing will
change. We will again make our own laws in the UK Parliament
elected by the British people and again fully accountable to them. The
restoration of UK democracy is the fundamental consequence of
leaving.
Leaving aside the fact that only 6% of UK companies export to the EU
the threat to British jobs rests on the assumption that outside the
structures of the EU all trade would stop. Such a notion is absurd. The
UK has had a trade deficit with the EU in every year of our
membership. They sell more to us than we do to them. Why would
they want to end a trading relationship?
Indeed many of those who issue the dire warnings today (the CBI,
IOD, big banks etc) are the very same people who warned of dire
consequences if Britain didnt abolish sterling and join the Euro. They
were wrong then and are wrong again.
Their warnings on security are more bizarre still. Does anyone
seriously think the UK wons share intelligence and cooperate with our
near neighbours on security outside the EU? A moment of reflection
answers that.
An issue of huge importance to our local area is the English language
sector. We have many excellent local Language Schools. Their
students add to our diversity and they contribute to our economy. An
economic impact study by Bournemouth University shows they add
around 200million a year to our local economy. Yet in recent years
they have been under strain. Not from the EU but indirectly from a
consequence of our membership of the EU: the free movement of
people within the EU.
Let me explain. Immigration has been for some years the number one
issue of concern to the British public. Politicians of all shades have
been trying to do something to control it. The current Government
has promised to reduce net migration to the tens of thousands a year.
It currently stands at hundreds of thousands and has done for years.
Yet as members of the EU we are powerless to prevent people coming
from the EU as we are signed up to free movement within the EU.
There is absolutely nothing we can do to control immigration from this
source.
So in order to do something it is being made harder and harder for
those outside the EU to come here. Ask anyone who works in a local
language school. They will tell you the visa process has become
harder. Agents abroad are increasingly placing students in countries
like Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the US. Our local economy
is suffering because we cannot decide in this country who we wish to
welcome to this country and who we do not. Outside the EU we would
have a chance to control our borders.
I have a great belief in the British people. It is their energy, talent and
enterprise that make us the 5th largest economy in the world. I believe
they have the common sense and judgement to be able to elect a
Government to make the laws under which they live. Like all of them I
have one vote on 23rd June. I will be casting it with confidence for
Britain to leave the EU and forge a new path as a self- governing
nation that trades with the world.
