Integrated AlumNI would like to thank Fleur Anderson MP for the support given to integrated education during her time as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. We wish Fleur Anderson every success in her next role.
It has been an honour to serve in this government.
I will continue to champion the people of Putney, Southfields, Roehampton and Wandsworth Town and the issues that matter most to us.
