I feel I must comment on the Conservative Association backing our MP Bill Cash. I see Mr Cash is paying back the £15,000 claimed on expenses. Is this a sign of guilt?

Not all of us think he is a good MP. In my case it took him three months to reply to my question why he vigorously opposed the embryo and technology bill.

I understand it is on religious grounds. If he had taken the trouble to talk to his constituents I feel he would have been told a different story.

We need this research to find a cure to Alzheimer's, diabetes and similar diseases. Some local MPs had a public meeting about this and supported the bill.

I lost a very close relative with Alzheimer's in her early 50s a few years ago so any progress we can make has to be positive.
