WEST WORCESTERSHIRE MP Harriett Baldwin has said she will continue to work hard in representing her constituents through ‘uncertain’ times after the majority of the British public voted to leave the European Union.
Mrs Baldwin supported the Remain campaign throughout the EU Referendum vote stating it was economically in the county’s best interests to stay in the EU.
In a statement given to the Observer, Mrs Baldwin also paid tribute to Prime Minister David Cameron who announced his resignation this morning stating the country needed ‘fresh leadership’ moving forward.
Mrs Baldwin said: “England and Wales have spoken and said something different than Scotland and Northern Ireland.
“Overall, the UK has chosen to leave the European Union and we must now all respect that decision. I am one of the 48 per cent in Malvern Hills and the country as a whole who voted Remain.
“As a result of this vote, the Prime Minister, my party leader, the man the country elected only last year has chosen to step down.
“Under his leadership the country has grown by 13 per cent and a record number of fellow Britons are in work and at the election last year, the Conservative party won its first majority for 23 years.
“I will continue to work to achieve the very best outcome for people in West Worcestershire during the uncertain process of unravelling our 40 year economic union.”
