John Bercow.


On  May 18th, I received a letter in the mail from the Speaker of the UK House of Commons, John Bercow. I had written to him on March 30th asking some questions such as what he liked about being the Speaker of the House of Commons. His answer was 'acting as a champion for the backbenchers of the House'. I have written to John Bercow a number of times including to wish him a happy birthday. I think it is very good of the Speaker of the House of Commons to take the time to write to someone who lives overseas. Mum was also very impressed with the letter.
