Debate between Andrew Selous and Chris Huhne
Chris Huhne
I am grateful to my hon. Friend for that question. As he knows, I can see the island from my constituency, and I suspect that another visit is not going to be that far off, but I certainly do join him in congratulating David Green.

I am very impressed by the way in which the whole initiative is beginning to take off and to have a real local impact.
