COLCHESTER’S newly-elected MP has secured a place on Parliament’s Transport Select Committee.
The role for Conservative Will Quince means he will play a part in scrutinising the Department for Transport, including its expenditure, administration and policies.
The Committee is made up of 11 MPs, appointed by the House of Commons and drawn from the three largest political parties.
Mr Quince said: “Transport is one of the biggest issues facing Colchester and our region which is why I am so pleased to have secured a place on this important committee.
“We have our rail franchise up next year and major plans underway for the A120 and A12, this position will give me the opportunity to scrutinise these issues and make sure the Government delivers for the people of Colchester.”
