Contribution to question on Oxfordshire child sex abuse
Below is the exchange I made in the Urgent Question raised about Oxfordshire child sex abuse. John Howell (Henley) (Con): I, too, pay tribute to the victims of these appalling crimes. Has the Secretary of State taken into account the fact that Operation Bullfinch, which brought the perpetrators to justice, has transformed the legal landscape in which cases can be heard? Have the good points...

Tax and HSBC
For a number of years I was a Tax Inspector. This experience has given me a special insight into the issues raised by the HSBC affair and an in-depth knowledge of what has happened in this situation. It also gives me an insight into how HMRC have been successful in gaining back the money that it is owed but which has not been paid. I realise, of course, that the emails sent to me were based on...

John Howell MP SUPPORTS CANCER RESEARCH UKÂ’S CROSS CANCER OUT CAMPAIGN ON WORLD CANCER DAY
I am backing an appeal from Cancer Research UK to save the lives of more cancer patients, as news comes that one in two people will be diagnosed with the disease at some point in their lives. The new figure was announced on World Cancer Day (February 4) to highlight the urgent need to bolster public health and NHS cancer services so they can cope with a growing and ageing population and the...
The Henley constituency runs from near the edge of Bicester in the north to the edge of Reading in the south skirting Oxford to the east. It covers some 270 square miles and has around 74,000 voters. It includes some of the area covered by Cherwell District Council and some of the area covered by South Oxfordshire District Council. It is a largely rural constituency with only two major towns - Henley on Thames and Thame. The River Thames defines a large part of the boundary of the constituency.
The Boundary Commission proposals make few changes to the constituency removing no wards and adding three - two from the Banbury constituency and one from the Oxford West and Abingdon constituency.
One of the joys of this constituency is the range of different events and activities with which I am able to be involved. You can access these by going to the map page and then clicking on your own town or village. Many of these events demonstrate the enormous public spirited nature of the people of this area and the generosity in time and money they show to the charity and voluntary sectors. I am pleased to have been able to support many of these activities.
