Policy issues
What have you been writing to me about?
Below are just some of the policy issues that constituents have contacted me about recently. I have always believed it is important that MPs keep in touch with the people we represent. That is why I want to make sure as many constituents as possible can see the issues I am taking up on their behalf. Why not also sign up to receive my email newsletter?
