HUDDERSFIELD MP Barry Sheerman has launched his new website.

He hopes the move will enable him to get in touch with more constituents.

Mr Sheerman said: "I am delighted with my new website. It's simple and easy to use and I hope it enables my constituents, and others, to find out about me and my work.

"Due to the large amount of visitors to my previous website I decided it was due for a revamp.

"My new website includes new information on all aspects of my career, as MP for Huddersfield, parliamentarian, Commons select committee chairman and social entrepreneur.

"The website is regularly updated to include all the speeches I make in the Commons, relevant Press stories and Press releases, as well as articles and interviews."

All the text and photos on the new website are available in RSS form and are released under the Creative Commons Licence.

This means that anyone is free to copy and distribute the material easily, providing it complies with the three main guidelines outlined on the site.
