2016 May

On Tuesday 24 May 2016 I asked the minister a question on Cluster Munitions in the urgent Question.

The Charity Maternity Action held a discussion to draw attention to maternity rights. The charity provides telephone advice to 2,500 parents each year. I support Maternity Action’s call to end pregnancy discrimination in the workplace. I attended their briefing on Monday 23 May 2016 at the House of Commons.

I was interviewed by Tanmanjeet Dhesi about the upcoming EU referendum for the Sikh Channel on Monday 23 May 2016.

The multi-faith community festival took place at All Saints Church in Darlaston on Saturday 21 May 2016.

As part of my Associate fellowship for the Industry and Parliament Trust, I chose to visit a local business. I am also a member of the Environment Food and Rural Affairs select committee (EFRA) and Morrisons is one of the big supermarkets of which there are 2 branches operating in Walsall South. On Friday 20th May 2014, I visited the Morrisons store at Wallows Lane. The other store is in Lichfield Street. I visit both branches frequently and often pick up lunch when I am in the constituency from the Lichfield Street branch opposite my office.
