On Monday, a memorial service was held for the late Dame Cheryl Gillan at Westminster. For those of you who may not be aware, Cheryl was born in Llandaff, Cardiff, and raised in south Wales. Indeed, her family still runs a farm in Usk. She was educated at Elm Tree House, a former alma mater of mine, and Norfolk House primary school in Cardiff, before attending Cheltenham Ladies' College and the College of Law. In 1992, she was elected to Parliament as Member of Parliament for Chesham and Amersham, a seat she held until her sad and sudden passing in April this year. Cheryl was appointed Secretary of State for Wales, the first woman to hold this role, after the general election in 2010, a post that she held with sheer distinction and pride. I knew her for many years, and her passion and kindness always shone through. She was widely respected amongst the political spectrum, and admired for her dedication to Wales. Cheryl is greatly missed by all of her friends in Wales, who will always remember her good humour and kindness. Public life is certainly poorer without her. Thank you.
