I always aim to respond to emails as quickly as possible. If you have contacted me as part of an organised writing campaign, I will not be able to reply to you individually due to the amount of correspondence that I receive.

In order that you can still see my response to these campaigns, I now put my responses online.

To see my responses, please use the navigation to the left.

Having taken advice from colleagues, I have taken the decision that I will not sign Early Day Motions because they are never debated or voted upon.  Each year approximately 2,500 of these motions are tabled and for this reason they are widely ignored by the Government. They have little impact on parliamentary outcome and they cost a significant amount of taxpayers’ money to orchestrate.
