On-shore Wind Farms

Dear Constituent, Thank you for your correspondence regarding on-shore wind farms. This debate seems to have re-opened yet again, but it is only just a few years ago that we dealt with a proposal for a massive on-shore windfarm at Hemswell. That plan would have blighted many of our beautiful view

Park Home Energy Bills

Dear Constituent, Thank you for contacting me about the energy bill grant and park homes.

Solar Farms on Agricultural Land

Workers' Rights after Brexit

Dear Constituent, Thank you for contacting me about workers’ rights.  I was disturbed by the rumoured rollback of workers’ rights that the left-wing press has been peddling. These untruths play on the fears of often very vulnerable people with the aim of creating an atmosphere

Animal Testing

As an animal lover, I am deeply concerned over the treatment of animals who are used in scientific research. I am proud of Britain's long tradition of kindness to animals and preventing and punishing cruelty to them.

Post Office Mediation Scheme for Subpostmasters

It is deeply troubling that the treatment of those accused of theft based on evidence from the Horizon IT system. I do not underestimate the stress this has caused to many affected by the long-running case, and from my time as Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee I remember how easy it is for massive technical systems to go wrong.
