I was absolutely honoured and delighted to recently win the Junior Minister of the Year award at a packed House of Commons reception. John Reid MP presented me with the award and in my acceptance speech I was quick to thank all my John, and Keith Vaz MP for organising the event, but I was almost keen to mention that I couldn't pursue my ministerial work in the same way unless I knew I had the confidence of Lewisham residents and their trust and support. So, this one is for Lewisham East.
