In Parliament

The Prime Minister has rightly set out his five priorities for the Government this year. One of these points is to halt the dangerous cross-channel border crossings made from the coast of Northern Europe.

In 2019, I was elected on a manifesto that included a commitment to building 40 new hospitals across the country. This has been backed by an initial £3.7 billion from the Government over the first four years of the new hospital programme.

Parliament continues to operate as usual while the Party seeks to appoint a new leader over the coming weeks. This morning, I chose to press the Government on how they are ensuring that they are using taxpayer’s money efficiently across central Government.

This morning, I had the pleasure of questioning the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport on support for outdoor activity centres such as the Hillingdon Outdoor Activities Centre (HOAC) in Harefield. 

Following a recent visit to the Colne Valley park that marks the boundary of Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner and Greater London, I was glad to have the opportunity today to press Government Ministers on additional protection for this vital  green space in the constituency.

Today the Deputy Prime Minister, Dominic Raab, introduced the Government’s proposals for a new UK Bill of Rights, a key part of the Government’s 2019 manifesto. The Deputy PM came to Parliament earlier today to set out how he intends to deliver human rights reforms across the country.

I was pleased to show my support for the animal rescue sector at an event in Parliament hosted by Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.

This evening, I had a chance to welcome the Government’s new legislative agenda that was set out in last week’s Queen's Speech. While delivered by the Prince of Wales, this speech sets out Her Majesty’s Government’s objectives for the forthcoming parliamentary session.

Today, the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill came back before the House of Commons as we considered the amendments tabled by the members of House of Lords.

In today’s Westminster Hall debate, I had the privilege of discussing the recruitment and retention of foster carers.
