Kwasi Kwarteng was elected to the Transport Select Committee for the Conservative Party.
"I am delighted to have been elected to this committee. The nature of economic growth in the South East, the future of Heathrow, the possible development of Airtrack, and the Crossrail project, are all relevant to the Surrey and the Home Counties in general, and to Spelthorne in particular"
"I look forward to playing a role in the development and scrutiny of policies relating to all these projects, among others, which will significantly affect our quality of life in the years ahead".
Some coverage of the selections that have been made for the various committees were reported recently on the Financial Time's Westminster blog.
