I am setting out my reasons for voting for the Covid Regulations laid by the Government on 14 December 2021. I appreciate hearing from my constituents and the strong views both for and against the measures.
Omicron is a clear threat, and it has always been my view that the Government must act swiftly to limit its spread. Throughout the pandemic I have always put public health before first and I will continue to do so. I supported the measures on their merits.

The Sikh Supreme Council wrote to me to say that the demands of the protesting farmers were been successful. I co-signed with 35 other MPs in December 2020 to the then Foreign Secretary an open letter about the treatment of the farmers who were taking part in peaceful protest to protect their land. In February 2021, I followed up with another letter highlighting that my constituents and I were horrified by reports of police brutality against the farmers protesting these laws, and that my constituents are concerned that this legislation would place all purchasing power in the hands of large corporations.
