I have been consulted on the new draft guidelines on cemetery and graveyard health and safety. I await their conclusion and imminent publication, but I am very confident that my campaign for common sense will win through.

I am therefore finalising the legal cases that I intend to take to get local people their money back where they have been wrongly tested or where the headstone was wrongly constructed. The evidence I have now complied is extremely strong and some of them will be in court very soon- unless common sense breaks out and those responsible back down.

I call on Bassetlaw Council to immediately remove every stake and make safe every headstone deemed unsafe, at their expense. If the monument was wrongly erected then they can take the mason to court and win their money back. I can confirm that there has never been a need for this over zealous staking of headstones and if your family has been so impacted then I urge you to contact me on 01909 506200 and mannj@parliament.uk.

The new digital era is ever near, especially for television. The pilot town of Whitehaven in Cumbria has now become entirely digital without barely a murmur. The key to the digital switchover is good public information and I am urging that more is provided. For certain by the time of the Olympics then we will be truly in the digital era and any new television needs to be digital.

Its a bit like decimalisation and the millennium bug. Those with longer memories will remember what a fuss was made about both and yet they both happened without any real  hitch. I predict the same with the digital switchover, but the public information campaign should be switched on in plenty of time.
