Last month, I joined colleague Flick Drummond MP in front of the Backbench Business Committee. We asked the committee for time to discuss the situation in Yemen. Yemen is in the midst of an 8-year long conflict which the UN estimates has cause 377,000 deaths. The two warring sides agreed a truce in April of this year, but sadly they have failed to reach an agreement to extend this.

An Urgent Question was tabled asking the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to make a statement on reductions in BBC local radio provision.
