Ranil welcomed the news that Conservatives in North East Hampshire were re-elected to local councils, and that Michael Lane was successful in his bid for Hampshire Police and Crime Commissioner.
Ranil commented: "I'm delighted that all local Conservatives standing for re-election to councils in North East Hampshire were successful - and I'm very pleased to welcome a few new faces too, including in the Sherborne St John and Bramley and Sherfield Wards!
"It is also great to hear this evening that Michael Lane has been elected Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire too!
"I'd like to offer my congratulations to all who were elected yesterday. People of all political parties enter politics to serve their community and, whether we agree on policies or not, I know that all will serve the community to the best of their ability."
