This is the time of year when Tax Credit send out Annual Renewals to constituents.  Having dealt with  problems with Tax Credits for some years, I have learned one issue which can cause problems is when Tax Credit say they have not received the Annual Renewal, and the computer then automatically asks for repayment of the entire previous year.

When I first became MP for Shrewsbury & Atcham in 2005, I very quickly understood some of the difficulties that some of our Shropshire dairy farmers were facing. A farming friend of mine, Mr Stuart Jones of Asterley near Pontesbury convinced me that this is something that I should be campaigning about in the House of Commons. I then set up the All Party Group for Dairy farmers, which became one of the biggest in the Houses of Parliament. The report that the group published contained a recommendation for a National Ombudsman adjudicator, a beefed up regulator if you will.

After securing automatic promotion to League One, Shrewsbury’s MP has congratulated the club, it’s players and staff.

‘I listened to the match last Saturday with baited breath and, like the rest of the constituency, was jumping up and down at the final whistle.   Many, many congratulations to Shrewsbury Town FC, the Directors, manager Graham Turner, players and all the backroom staff who have worked so hard to give us promotion to Division 1.   A truly historic day for Shrewsbury.  Roll on next season!’
