Campaign Responses

  • Tweet

Because of the high volume of mass campaign emails I now receive it is no longer possible for me to respond to each one of them individually, as I would prefer.

Instead, responses to campaign emails are posted here, the most recent appearing at the top of the list below. On the lefthand menu you will see listed government departments, responses are grouped onto these pages. If you can't find what you are looking for please try the search function by clicking here.

Sometimes it may take a week or two to get a campaign response up, so please check back to see if one has been posted.

Constituents who write to me personally will be answered to by letter, as mentioned on the contact page.

Immigration Bill

Because I chaired the bill committee on the Immigration Bill, I am not able to make any statement on it.

Reception Baseline Assessment

Primary education is fundamental to ensuring every child receives the best possible start in life. The primary assessment and accountability system plays an important role in ensuring that every child, no matter what their background or where they go to school, benefits from a high-quality primary education

Extending UK-EU Negotiations

Nothing would please me more than for the United Kingdom and the European Union to reach a final lasting deal which is to the mutual benefit of both parties to these talks.

Diabetes

Diabetes is a leading cause of premature mortality. With over 22,000 additional deaths each year, it doubles an individual’s risk of cardiovascular disease and costs over £10 billion every year to manage.

Agriculture Bill (and Food Standards)

I put my name to the two amendments moved by Neil Parish which would have added special and specific mandates above and beyond the already existing high standards that exist in food production and import

Coronavirus: Shielding and Staying at Home (Over-70s and Others)

This is a difficult time for people across the country, and I am extremely grateful to everyone who has been following government guidance by staying alert and keeping socially distant to slow the spread of the virus and reduce pressure on the NHS frontline.

Coronavirus: People in Poverty

This is the biggest public health emergency in a generation. I am encouraged by the clear commitment to supporting people, with unprecedented packages of support rolled out for businesses and individuals alike. I also welcome that additional support is being provided through the welfare system, representing an injection of over £6.5 billion.

Environment Bill

The decision to leave the European Union has created an historic opportunity to deliver a Green Brexit, where environmental standards are not only maintained but enhanced.

Coronavirus: British Airways Staff

I regret the commercial decisions that BA have announced, not least because the airline was benefiting from the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, which was not designed to fund the wages of employees only for companies to put the same staff on notice of redundancy during the furlough period.

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.

Coronavirus: Maternity Pay & Leave Extension

I understand concerns for babies during this time who have missed out on interaction with other babies due to Covid-19 restrictions. To protect family and others, government guidelines recommend that social distancing in gardens and outdoor spaces should still be followed when meeting others.

Black Lives Matter

I totally abhor racism and believe it has no place in our society, nor in any. The United Kingdom is a diverse country where many peoples from all over the world have found a home in peace and security, and there are still more who aspire to come here.
