It is my pleasure and privilege to serve the people of Royal Sutton Coldfield. I always work hard to help local residents and to champion the issues of importance to our town.
I hope that this website provides you with a useful insight into some of the work I do on behalf of my constituents – both in Sutton Coldfield and in the House of Commons.
Over the year thousands of local residents contact me by letter, email and in person. If I can be of any help to you, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
You can also follow me over on my Facebook page here.
This week Andrew Mitchell visited Sutton cemetery to meet with Andy Knowlson and Sarah Moody, of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, and Paul Vinals, who works as a volunteer for the CWGC, maintaining war graves in three locations across the Royal Town.

On Thursday, two talented debaters from Sutton Coldfield College walked away with the coveted trophy after their animated and compelling arguments stole the spotlight at this year’s Sutton Schools Parliamentary Debating Competition.
Speaking in the House of Commons, Andrew Mitchell condemns the paralysis and incompetence at Birmingham City Council and calls for a judge-led inquiry into the cause of the equal pay crisis, Birmingham’s bankruptcy and the ongoing bin strike.

Andrew has a keen interest in international development and in 2007 founded Project Umubano, the Conservative Party’s ten-year social action project in Rwanda. The project culminated with the Kigali Declaration against Genocide and Identity-based Violence.
The latest revelations about security service collusion in respect of Ms Shamima Begum make alarming reading. It has been obvious from the outset that she and her foolish young friends were groomed. Now we discover that ministers knew she was a trafficking victim, transported by a terrorist group, but chose to strip her of her British citizenship regardless.
