To whom it may concern,

After 9 months and two General Elections as Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party, it is time for me to move on, and step aside in favour of fresher faces. I have enjoyed my time immensely working with the great /u/Chi0121 and /u/EruditeFellow, but simply do not have the time to commit to serving the party in the way that they deserve from a DL.

I will be resigning as Deputy Leader and SoS for EFRA; I will be remaining the Duke of Norfolk, the Leader of the House of Lords and a DLS.

Thank you again to all who have supported me this past year.

Yours,

The Most High, Noble and Potent Prince His Grace the Earl Marshall /u/britboy3456 GCT GCVO GBE CB PC, The Duke of Norfolk, Premier Duke, Marquess and Earl of England, 19th Duke of Norfolk, 19th Marquess of Winchester, 34th Earl of Arundel, 8th Baron Skelmersdale, (now-former) Deputy Leader of the Conservative and Unionist Party, Leader of the House of Lords, and (now-former) Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
