Andrew Murrison isn't sending out the usual MP Christmas card this year. In a break with tradition and reflecting recent trends, he's donating to charity instead. Andrew said;
"I would like to wish everyone a Happy Christmas. Lets all hope and pray for a peaceful and prosperous New Year - in this country and overseas.
The MP, who is also the defence minister responsible for personnel, added;
"Particularly at this time of the year, I'm acutely conscious as MP for a garrison town with many Service people living locally of the challenges faced by families who are apart from loved ones. A really big thank you to them.
