Sydney was a fantastic MP for Chipping Barnet and there will be many many residents whom he helped over the years who will be very sad to hear this news.
I feel this loss at a personal level. I have tremendous affection for Sydney's family and I know they will be devastated. I hope they will take comfort in the knowledge that Sydney will always be remembered here in Barnet as a compassionate, principled and dedicated MP who devoted his life to public service."
