In Parliament

When we speak about levelling up, it is crucial that we include education in that conversation. In particular, we must ensure that we are protecting the interests of those specialist groups who are easily left behind.

The incredibly sad news of the abuse suffered by Arthur Labinjo-Hughes has brought into light the crucial role played by social workers.

I know from conversations with constituents and from the flow of emails in my inbox, how important the issue of climate change is to the residents of Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner.

This week, we saw two days of debate where we completed the final stages of the Health and Care Bill in the House of Commons.

I was pleased to attend the Freedom of Religion or Belief: 40th Anniversary of UN Declaration Debate in Parliament. You can read my full contribution below: 

I know that many constituents benefit from the healthcare services provided by Hillingdon Hospital. I was therefore pleased to receive assurances from the Health Secretary that rebuild plans for the hospital remain on track and I look forward to seeing its completion. 

During the budget we saw a fantastic commitment from the Chancellor to invest in and support the youngest members of our communities. Earlier this week, I was pleased to be able to contribute to a brilliant cross party debate on ensuring we provide every child with the best start in life. 

Last week, the Chancellor delivered a budget under very difficult circumstances but it contained a huge number of very welcome announcements which will deliver real life benefits to constituents in Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner.

Friday sittings give an opportunity for us to debate and champion some of the issues which are close to MPs' hearts and shows Parliament at its best.

There has been quite a varied reaction from constituents who have got in touch following the Prime Minister’s announcement to reform Health and Social Care funding.
