In Parliament

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.

This week, I asked the Foreign Secretary whether the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees would work with the UK as an independent and neutral party to identify those Afghan refugees eligible for resettlement.

I recently questioned the Minister on the need to move forward with the Restoration and Renewal Programme, instead of continually re-examining the scope and cost of the project, in order to preserve one of our great heritage assets. You can read the full exchange below:
