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].

Addressing the Risk of extinction from AI

Talk about AI should not be all doom and gloom. It has huge potential to transform our economy and society. As you may be aware, the Government recognised this by supporting Matt Clifford’s AI Opportunities Action Plan earlier this year.

Request to meet Alzheimer’s Research UK during Conference

Alzheimer's and dementia have a devastating impact on the lives of so many families. With 900,000 people currently living with dementia in the UK, research is crucial to understanding the condition and improving treatment options for those affected.

Supporting the Future of the North Sea

The truth is that the UK’s oil and gas industry is being held back by short-sighted decisions. The Government's windfall tax has been extended to 2030, investment allowances have been cut, and regulatory uncertainty is driving companies to pause or cancel projects.

Elon Musk and a political donation cap

There is a long-standing principle that only those on the UK electoral register are permissible political donors. This is upheld by a framework of laws and established standards enforced by the Electoral Commission, the independent body that regulates political finance in the UK.

Hospice Funding and Palliative Care

Hospices play a vital role in providing high-quality, compassionate care at the end of life, and I would like to pay tribute to their work in our local community.

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Thank you for taking the time to contact me regarding the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill. 

Every child deserves the opportunity to lead a safe and fulfilling life, and I welcome the child protection measures in this legislation that have clear merit.

Women’s cycling safety

I fundamentally agree that we should do what we can to ensure women feel equally safe cycling as men.

Two-Child Policy

Thank you for contacting me about the cap which restricts Child Tax Credit and Universal Credit to the first two children in a family.
