He continued: "Ipswich is the most special, wonderful, unique community and it is a great honour to have been the member of Parliament.

"I am very, very proud of what I, and a team of people, [have achieved] together.

"What I've not often spoken about is, what I'm thankful for, is that I've learned so much from being a member of Parliament, more than I could ever have hoped to have learnt in another role, and I feel a better person for it with broader opportunities and views than I otherwise would have had.

"I leave, not just with a great sense of pride, but also with an enormous sense of gratitude to the people and to the town of Ipswich."

The new MP for Ipswich says it was a "very good election campaign, conducted in a civilised way with a great degree of sense and a clear focus on the issues involved rather than the personalities".

Sandy Martin said: "For myself it has been a good deal of enthusiasm that I have seen in the town which has really made me feel that people have, for the first time in a long time, really thrown themselves into why we're having an election, why we should be thinking about the issues that we have had in front of ourselves and I think that contrasts with some of the treatment we've had from the national press."
