Robert Syms was readopted by a unanimous vote at a special meeting of the Poole Conservative Association on Saturday, 29 April 2017.

Robert Syms, our Member of Parliament for Poole, has endorsed Prime Minister Theresa May's call for a General Election in 8 June: "This is a time when we need a strong government with a clear mandate to negotiate for the United Kingdom with our partners in the European Union to get the best arrangements possible."

Robert Syms, MP for Poole, recently visited the newly refurbished Poole High Street branch of Barclays Bank to view recent changes and to discuss local business. Robert: “I enjoyed the visit. I am glad that Barclays is optimistic about future business growth in Poole. I am happy to see that Barclays is both upgrading their branches and investing in their staff. I was particularly struck by the apprenticeship programme the branch offers for local young people.”

Robert Syms, MP for Poole, visited a day nursery last Friday to hear about plans to provide 30 hours of funded childcare to 3 and 4 year old children in Poole from September.

Our Plan for Britain will deliver a country that is stronger, fairer, more united and more outward looking than ever before. It’s a plan to get the right deal for Britain abroad and a better deal for ordinary working people at home.

Robert Syms MP today visited Shrinkwrap Machinery, a Poole company that designs and manufactures shrink-wrapping machines: “I congratulate Shrinkwrap Machinery, a great British company based in Poole, on its 50th anniversary. It was a pleasure to meet the directors and staff and hear about their exciting plans for the future.”

Robert Syms, MP for Poole, welcomes a green paper on a new modern Industrial Strategy which will support businesses in Poole to grow and create more high skilled, high paid jobs for local people.

The referendum last June was a vote to leave the European Union. But it was also a vote for change – to shape a brighter future for our country, to make it stronger and fairer, and to embrace the world. And it is the job of this Conservative Government to deliver it and to get the right deal for Britain as we do. Today I set out the Government’s 12 negotiating objectives for leaving the European Union.

Since the 2015 election, our challenges have been significant, however we have achieved much. When I look at what we have achieved during this period, we have balanced our budget, we are confident we can do so this year too, and we have minimised the cuts to our front line services.
