Thank you for visiting my website. You will find information about my work and my activities as the Member of Parliament on behalf of the people of Walsall South. You can contact me directly through the website and find details about my office. Owing to Covid-19 I am unable to meet at surgeries, and I am now conducting telephone surgeries. I use the House of Commons Parliamentary answering service when my office is busy or out of hours. Please leave your message with them and remember to give your name, address and contact details. The Answering Service will send me an email with your message
If you have any problem or issue you think I may be able to help you with, please do get in touch.
Please note that Members of Parliament are not an emergency service so do contact the appropriate emergency services when required.
I would like to thank the NHS for their wonderful service during the pandemic.
