Being your voice in Parliament

Today, I have signed a joint letter with other Conservative MPs to the CEO of the Independent Parliamentary Salaries' Authority, signalling my opposition to a pay rise for MPs.

Today, I stood up in the Commons to ask the Chancellor if he would extend VAT cuts for hospitality and tourism beyond January next year. These cuts have provided a lifeline for businesses and I am keen to see my local businesses boom in the long-term as a result of this policy.

I have written to the Transport Minister  to throw my full support behind a Council Bid to fund more sustainable travel in Scunthorpe.

I have today asked the Education Secretary to review the university application of Scunthorpe resident Hannah Moat in Parliament. Hannah is an elite athlete that was due to study at Loughborough University, but her place was rejected due to a clerical error that her school made when inputting her centre-assessed grade.

After a busy Recess, I am back in Parliament. And today I was keen to voice my support for the Grimsby MP’s campaign to back British Fish, 

Today I took the opportunity to raise the key issues in Scunthorpe that should be dealt with by the Government before we adjourn for the Summer.

Today, I have written to the Chancellor to ask for more discretion in the distribution of Self-Employment Income Support Scheme grants. 

Many people may not have been able to attend hospital for routine appointments and treatments during lockdown.

Today I asked the PM to consider support for hospital trusts as they catch-up and for him to work with me on my campaign to upgrade Scunthorpe hospital.
