"It's been a real honour to represent the constituency I was born and brought up in for the last five years. Tackling the issues that local people face is what got me involved in politics in the first place and it remains what drives me today.
"Together we secured an extra £94m for the NHS in Cornwall. Water bills have been cut for the first time in a decade, and reform of water charging in the South West is in the pipeline. More trains are running on the Falmouth to Truro branch line and St Michael's Hospital in Hayle successfully stood up to the threat of closure.
"I am proud of the part I played in all of these successful campaigns. But there is still much work to be done. With our local services facing tough times in the years ahead, it's more important than ever that this constituency has a strong champion to represent it in Parliament. That responsibility now rests with my successor George Eustice - I wish him well."

"How can you possibly take on such a large financial commitment as Trident without considering the military and political implications? If fierce cuts are to be made in Britain's conventional forces, surely we have to consider whether replacing Trident can be justified. "
Sir Menzies Campbell
Response to announcement that the Ministry of Defence will be responsible for the cost of replacing Trident - 30 July
"With most of their leadership contenders claiming to back AV for a fairer voting system, it is astonishing they now wish to block the legislation to make that happen. Each and every Labour MP campaigned on a manifesto committing to a referendum. Now they have the opportunity to make this happen but have chosen to say no for opposition's sake. "
Simon Hughes MP
Comment on Labour's decision to oppose legislation for a referendum on the alternative vote - 28 July
"With more than half of ASBOs breached in 2008, this was a policy more about posturing than effective policing. Local communities know that other measures, such as Acceptable Behaviour Contracts can nip problems in the bud before they escalate. "
Co-Chair of the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Committee for Home Affairs and Justice, Tom Brake MP
Commenting on speech by the Home Secretary in which she said it was 'time to move beyond Anti Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs) - 28 July
