Here is the "View from the House" published in the Walsall Advertiser on 2 February 2017:
On Wednesday 1 February 2017, I was delighted to meet those working tirelessly to beat cancer at the World Cancer Day (WCD) event in Parliament. The theme for this year’s WCD on Saturday 4 February 2017 is ‘We can. I can.’ and is a chance to reflect on what you can do, make a pledge and take action. Whatever you choose to do ‘We can. I can.’ make a difference to the fight against cancer.
At Business Questions I raised various issues with the Leader of the House, Rt Hon David Lidington MP. My speech is below:
As Shadow Leader of the House I spoke at the Westminster Hall debate initiated by Chris Bryant MP on the Restoration and Renewal of the Palace of Westminster on Wednesday 25 January 2017.
On Tuesday 24 January 2017 I voted to oppose the Ten Minute Rule Motion moved by Chris Philp MP (Member for Croydon South) to bring in the Industrial Action (Protection of Critical National Services) Bill to regulate industrial action.
