Ian Levy (Blyth Valley) (Con) [V]:...My promise to my constituency

the loss of life. Only recently, a constituent and father of two
was violently attacked on his way home. I would like to thank the
Northumbria police in my constituency for all the work they have
done in the wake of this shocking incident....Request free trial
