  18. Lib Dems sad but not surprised as Norman Lamb movespublished at 10:02 British Summer Time 18 September 2017

    BBC Look East political correspondent

    I'm at the Liberal Democrat conference in Bournemouth where one of the main talking points has been the news that north Norfolk MP Norman Lamb is to stand down as the party's health spokesman.

    Mr Lamb, a former health minister, now wants to concentrate on his new job chairing the influential parliamentary science committee.

    But Mr Lamb has insisted that he will still champion the health causes close to his heart. "I will never depart from my total passion about fighting for justice for people with mental ill health, with learning disability [and)] with autism," he told Sunday Politics East.

    In Bournemouth none of his friends are surprised at the news.

    Many have told me that Mr Lamb has felt on the margins of his party, uncomfortable with its policy on Brexit and has been looking for a new challenge after failing to win the party leadership last time around.

    "There are so many issues around the health agenda which would never have seen the light of day if it hadn't been for his passion and commitment," Norwich City councillor James Walsh said.

    He added: "Norfolk has huge opportunities in science and technology and to have someone who can be a champion for that at the heart of parliament will be a real asset for Norfolk."

    Steffan Aquarone , the deputy leader of the Lib Dems on Norfolk County Council said: "He was the most important voice that our party had in health and I think he'll add a huge amount of value to the science and technology committee."

    Mr Lamb will adddress the party conference tomorrow.

    "She said girls don't get to do fun things like fight with swords, so I thought I would give them an action part - running around the stage with swords," he said.

    He said he would welcome a production in Norfolk of the play.

    "It would be great to see the queen coming back to her kingdom triumphant after a long, long absence," he said.

    Tristan said he wrote the play before Brexit but it was "always a play about national identity".

    Boudicca's revolt was eventually brutally put down by Rome.
