We have been through each year, night by night and
I have made an as accurate as is possible calculation of the nights

year.
It has been a laborious process and I do not claim
it to be absolutely 100% accurate.
In addition to the night count, I would like to emphasise
that to my family and I, the Cotswolds is our home.

2005-06: In the 233 nights remaining in 2005 from
the election until March 31st 2006 I spent 31 nights in Westminster,
8 nights abroad, 5 nights in [additional address], 3 nights at
party conference, and 186 nights in my main home.
2006 -07: From April 1 until March 31st I spent 27
