Thank you to ITV for covering the important issue of Gurkha pensions. I am continuing to work on this issue and recently held another meeting with the Veterans' Minister.

I welcomed the Business Secretary, Peter Kyle, to Reading to visit One Station Hill. The building, located opposite the refurbished Rail Station is attracting global brands and is part of Reading’s wider regeneration, which is creating jobs and opportunities in our town.

Last week I visited the Royal Berkshire Hospital with Ashley Dalton, the Minister for Public Health. Across England, the NHS saw the waiting list fall by more than 86,000 in November to 7.31 million, that’s the second biggest drop in 15 years.

I am pleased Reading Borough Council is building more council houses and I raised this during a debate on council funding.
