John Penrose, MP for Weston-super-Mare and Minister for Tourism & Heritage

John Penrose has a small team of dedicated people to assist him as Member of Parliament for Weston-super-Mare & the villages. They support him in dealing with residents’ problems, tackling the Government on local and national issues in the House of Commons or simply sitting down with constituents and lending a sympathetic ear over a cup of tea.

John’s staff are paid out of the House of Commons staffing budget. He does not employ any member of his family.
