I raised the following questions with the Leader of the House:
On Wednesday 13 September 2017 I pledged my support to British food and farming and celebrated the huge contribution that British farmers and growers make in producing the nation’s food.
The European Union Withdrawal Bill overturns the 1972 European Communities Act and will convert all existing EU laws into UK law. On Monday 11 September 2017, I voted on a series of motions on the EU Withdrawal Bill.
On Tuesday 12 September 2017, I spoke in the House of Commons on the Government's motion on the nomination of Members to Committees. The motion establishes a new Selection Committee, and allows the Committee to give the Government a majority on any Public Bill and Delegated Legislation Committees, when it does not have a majority in the House. This is yet another power grab by the Minority Government. The vote was lost: Ayes: 320 Noes: 301
