A number of constituents have contacted me about Universal Credit.

I confirm that prior to the recent Budget I added my name to calls for action to improve this, as one of a group of Conservative MPs who wrote to the Chancellor asking him to review arrangements for UC in his Budget.

Many constituents have contacted me about alcohol duties around the time of the Autumn 2018 Budget.

Many constituents have contacted me about fracking and local democracy.

I have made it clear that I will oppose any applications for fracking in my constituency.

Many constituents have contacted me about a People’s Vote.

I do appreciate their strength of feeling on this matter.

Many constituents have contacted me about the environment. Here is my response:

A number of constituents have written to me about the welfare of horses and the Central Equine Database.

Residents have contacted me about their concerns about the way in which food labelling of meat and dairy products can mislead consumers.

A number of constituents have contacted me about childhood obesity.

With nearly a third of children aged two to fifteen overweight or obese, I agree that this is an important issue to tackle.

Poorly patients and their families should not have to deal with the added stress of parking charges at hospitals.
