A different environment
Tory Monmouthshire MP, David Davies, has found an entirely different environment in the House of Commons to that he is used to in the Assembly. In particular, his outspoken views on equality of opportunity do not seem to have gone down well with the Tory Parliamentary frontbench. The difference is that whereas David's Assembly colleagues kept their heads down and dealt with it in private his fellow Conservative MPs are not adverse to rebuking him in public:
Tory front-bencher Eleanor Laing appeared to rebuke her colleague, saying, "We on this side do believe in equality of opportunity - even for people from Wales."
