Today, Vikki Slade MP raised Dr Jasmine Kelland’s research on fathering in prison with the Secretary of State for Justice. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr Kelland earlier this year to discuss her work and the importance of her policy recommendations for rehabilitation.

Today, I introduced the Water Industry Act 1991 (Amendment) (Payment of Fines) Bill. This Bill would prevent water companies, like Thames Water, from negotiating away fines. The...

In the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee, we scrutinised the Government’s preferred candidate for the role of Chair of UK Research and Innovation. I asked Professor Sir Leszek Borysiewicz how he would ensure taxpayers’ money is used in the most efficient way.
ITV covered ‘Taste of Oxfordshire’ in The Last Word, highlighting the importance of supporting local business. All these businesses contribute so much to the community and prove that local is best 🌟🍰
I asked the Minister to increase funding for active travel, given the significantly larger sums invested in major infrastructure projects such as HS2. The Thame to Haddenham Greenway would provide a safe walking and wheeling route that campaigners have been asking for over the last 25 years.
In Parliament, I raised how rural pharmacies in Benson and across Henley & Thames are being penalised. Under Pharmacy First, thresholds have risen from 5 to 30 consultations — leaving many effectively delivering the service unpaid. I asked what will be done to fix it.
I had the chance to speak with representatives from CERN about the work they do. CERN is a European Organization for Nuclear Research, and although the UK was a founding member, funding allocated for research projects has been uncertain. I asked what this uncertainty means for future projects.
I stuck up for SMEs during the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill. Without proper support to defend themselves, many small and medium-sized enterprises will struggle to secure the funding needed to strengthen their cyber security. Unfortunately, the Government rejected this amendment.
Protection for children from online harms must be implemented as a matter of urgency. Many social media platforms are highly addictive and display a multitude of harmful content. Age-rating platforms would incentivise companies to clean up their act and promote lower-harm, peer-to-peer products.
Fixing a bridge shouldn’t be this hard, but since it is, I’ll fight until it’s done
At the Second Reading of the Health Bill, I highlighted concerns over ICB commissioning, safeguarding confidentiality in a single patient record, and the absence of reform of JCVI and the National Screening Committee. I will hold the Government to account as the Bill proceeds through Parliament.
