I attended an event at Speaker's House to mark two years since the Grenfell Tower disaster. The horrific fire on 14 June 2017 claimed 72 lives.
There is a new timetable for the election of the Conservative leader, and we need to ensure that the House is not in recess when the new leader—effectively the new Prime Minister—takes up his or her post. Does he agree that it is vital for the House to have an immediate opportunity to test whether the new leader of the Conservative party commands the confidence of the House?
The crisis of shop closures facing town centres across the country, including Walsall, is having a negative impact on both local communities and the wider UK economy. To combat this, Usdaw launched their Industrial Strategy for Retail at an event I attended in Parliament on Wednesday 5 June 2019.
To date 1390 people have signed a Change.org petition to oppose the loss of two staff at Walsall Arboretum.
I closed the pre-recess adjournment debate on 23 May 2019 on behalf of HM Opposition. The debate is an opportunity for Members to raise an array of issues that are important to them.
