Campaign Responses

Graham receives many campaign emails from residents concerned about national issues. They are similar in content and so he publishes his responses on this website so you can see his position on each of them. You may also like to take a look at the relevant Government department’s website, where there is far more information on the many issues raised. You can find them here: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations

Graham aims to have his response to a new campaign up on the website within a week of receiving the first one.

If you are a resident and cannot see Graham’s reply to a campaign email you sent over a week ago, please let him know by writing to [email protected].

Pet Theft/Pet Abduction Bill

Thank you for contacting me about pet theft. I fully recognise the devastating impact that the theft of a pet can have on both the pet and families.

#CatchUpWithCancer Campaign

Thank you for contacting me about the #CatchUpWithCancer campaign. Unfortunately, I am unable to attend Radiotherapy UK’s event in Parliament due to prior commitments.

Excess Deaths including Andrew Bridgen Debate

Thank you for contacting me about the excess deaths reported by the Office of National Statistics (ONS); I understand your concerns. The Government is taking steps to reduce excess deaths (the number of deaths above the five-year average), including those which involve Covid-19.

Economic Activity of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) Bill

War in Gaza

Thank you for contacting me about the situation in Gaza. A tragedy is unfolding in the Middle East. Israel has suffered the worst terror attack in its history at the hands of Hamas, and Palestinian civilians in Gaza are experiencing a humanitarian disaster.

Post Office/Horizon IT Scandal

Regulation of Anaesthesia Associates and Physician Associates

Thank you for contacting me about the proposed regulation of anaesthesia associates (AAs) and physician associates (PAs) by the General Medical Council (GMC). I note your concerns about the training and competency of anaesthesia and physician associates, but disagree with the BMA’s assessment

Strike Action

Thank you for contacting me about the strikes. Trade union laws are designed to support an effective and collaborative approach to resolving industrial disputes. While the Government and I continue to support the right to strike, this should always be a last resort.

Buy British Button on Websites

Thank you for contacting me about promoting British produce in the UK. I recognise the crucial role our farmers play in supporting food security, driving economic growth, and helping us achieve our net zero goals.

Illegal Migration & the Safety of Rwanda Bill

Thank you for contacting me about the Government's plan for ending illegal migration.  I welcome that the Government is making significant progress in stopping the arrival of small boats, with crossings down by a third.
