Aberavon MP Dr Hywel Francis has recently visited Number Ten Downing Street at the invitation of the Prime Minister along with a community leader Saifur Rahman of Port Talbot.

'I was very pleased to invite Saifur Rahman to accompany me at Downing Street. Mr Rahman is a young person who has undertaken outstanding work in community relations as secretary of the Port Talbot Tigers Football Team and the Port Talbot Muslim Welfare Association.'
'I was especially pleased that he was able to meet Cabinet Ministers Alistair Darling MP and Hilary Benn MP and Mahmood Sarwar MP, chair of the Scottish Affairs Committee and to explain the work he has undertaken in the community.'
'I was also glad that Mr Rahman whist he was in Parliament was able to meet with representatives of BT whose digital inclusion work for the elderly and disabled was similar to his work locally with Age Concern'
