Changes have been announced to the way train delays are recorded, benefiting passengers by making it easier to hold train companies to account. 

It has always been my clear aim that I want us to leave the EU with a deal. The terms of the existing Withdrawal Agreement in its current form are, however, unacceptable to Parliament. MPs have rejected it on three occasions, along with a number of other options put in front of them.

Let me start by stating that I have the upmost respect for the judicial process and the rule of law. The Government has confirmed that it will abide by the judgement, something that was never in doubt, while respectfully disagreeing with the Supreme Court’s decision.

I am delighted that this Spending Round is continuing to support people’s priorities. Investing in our schools, NHS, defence and hiring more police officers is what my constituents tell me they want.

It is an honour to have been appointed Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department of Health and Social Care.

My new role comes with a great deal of responsibility. The NHS is a service we all rely on and is undoubtedly one of our country’s greatest achievements.

I was proud to support the campaign to tackle discrimination against guide dog owners at an event in Parliament organised by the charity Guide Dogs.

I am pleased that a great deal of work has and is being done to tackle climate change and preserve our environment by Government. It’s an agenda I have been involved with and I wanted to update you on some of the progress.

I recently met with Paul Maynard, Minister for Courts and Legal Aid at the Ministry of Justice, and Tim Passmore, Police and Crime Commissioner for Suffolk to discuss concerns about access to justice in Bury St Edmunds.

I was delighted to attend the launch of the Primary Futures Parliamentary Champion programme, a major cross-party initiative that aims to raise the aspirations and broaden the horizons of primary school children. 

I was interested to learn about the work being done on accessibility and inclusion in rail, hosted by the Rail Delivery Group, which represents train operators and Network Rail at a recent event in Parliament.
