“I am pleased to be joining my close friends David Cameron, George Osborne and others on the backbenches. I feel deeply honoured and privileged to have served as a Minister of State – one of only three to have done so continuously from 2010- and loved my time both in the Northern Ireland Office and more recently the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
I have travelled more than any other Minister promoting the UK abroad both politically and in terms of trade. I have championed the Commonwealth and re-established links in Latin and Central America. I have been all over Asia, Australasia and the Pacific racking up the air miles and promoting our great country.
But all this comes at a price not only to me but my family and I shall be relieved not to have to embark on yet another exhausting trip for a while.”

Er, what about now having time to work for your constituents and perhaps seeking to relocate your second home from Mid Devon to East Devon?
Oh, Owl forgot – you are on holiday but you won’t tell us where. Still, wherever it is, it won’t be an exhausting trip.
Those air miles are going to be SO useful … for all the family – though as Mr Swire employs his wife in his office who will be answering the phone and the mail?
East Devon Watch 
Me, me, me, me, and photo me.
And I’m not sure he will have a use for airmiles given his family connections to Cathay Pacific (http://sirjohnswire.crazybillionaire.org/sirjohnswire.php)
