“It remains one of the most enjoyable things I get to do as MP; welcoming my constituents to the Houses of Parliament and especially this event as Northern Ireland’s Ulster-Scots Cultural was to the fore.”

“The Ulster Scots Agency did Ulster proud; the event was enjoyed by many MP’s from throughout the United Kingdom.

I want to pay special thanks to all of those who travelled to London and to Tweedie Acheson who helped develop the design of the Tartan cloth,” he added.
