Bicester and Woodstock's new MP Calum Miller has started his work in Westminster after being elected last week. 

The Liberal Democrat candidate won with 19,419 votes, beating Conservatives' Rupert Miller by 4,958 votes. 

On Monday (July 8) all newly elected MPs headed to Westminster to start the new job. 

Mr Miller described his first day as "daunting, exciting and exhausting".

He said: "Like any first day, it was full of new names, instructions and learning how to get about.

"It was inspiring to go into the famous chamber, consider the history it holds and think about what we might be able to do over the coming parliament."

He also explained the process behind the inductions for new MPS: "We were guided on how to get things done in the House of Commons, from asking questions to tabling amendments.

"We also met as a new Liberal Democrat parliamentary group - having won 72 seats from Shetland to St Ives, our MPs did not necessarily meet on the campaign trail so we began getting to know one another."

The Bicester and Woodstock results were announced at approximately 6.45am on Friday, July 5, after a night of counting at Spiceball Leisure Centre in Banbury.

"After 40 hours on the go, I started with some sleep.

"After six weeks of hard campaigning, I also had some time with my family.

"It was great to get over to the Eynsham Carnival on Saturday. I spent Sunday sending messages of thanks to the many people who helped me to get elected and getting myself ready for a week in London."

Mr Miller said he is feeling "grateful" to have been elected.

He said: "Above all, I remain grateful to be given this opportunity.

"I also feel determined to repay the trust people have put in me.

"So many people told me during the campaign that they had lost trust in politics and I want to do my bit to restore that.

"The job is daunting but I am very excited to get started."

Speaking about his goals as an MP, he said: "I want to hit the ground running and immediately start representing my constituents.

"I will be out and about in our area, continuing to meet individuals and groups to hear what is important to them and how I can help.

"In parliament, I will work to scrutinise the early proposals of the new government and consider how they will affect our area.

"I also hope to start work with other parties to tackle some major challenges. The Lib Dems have, for example, requested an urgent cross-party meeting to discuss long-term reform of social care."
