A newly-elected MP says it was “an honour” to be officially sworn in.
Labour’s Sarah Edwards claimed victory in the by-election for the Tamworth constituency – which include areas such as Fazeley, Stonnall and Shenstone – last week.
She officially took up her seat in the House of Commons this week.
She said:
“It was an honour to take my oath of allegiance to the Crown and be sworn in as a Member of Parliament.
“To the people of Tamworth and the villages, regardless of which way you voted – I will work tirelessly to be your voice.”

The new MP replaced Christopher Pincher who resigned after being suspended for groping two men in a London club.
