Campaign Responses

I agree that all children should be able to access healthy food at school every day. As a member of the Education Select Committee, education is one of my top priorities and with the help of good nutrition, pupils will be ready to learn and have the chance to achieve their full potential.

I have been contacted by many of my constituents over concerns regarding my support for the protection of our environment and subsequent wildlife.

I have been contacted by many constituents about the very important issue of animal welfare. As an animal lover myself, this is an issue that I take extremely seriously, and I am proud to be continuing the work that Sir David Amess did on this.

In January 2022, the Government announced plans to bring forward a Bill to create a more innovative regulatory regime that would not have been possible were the UK still a member of the European Union.

I was incredibly concerned to learn of PayPal’s decision to shut down certain accounts citing its “Acceptable Use Policy”. It is deeply worrying that a company can so quickly, and without warning, withdraw financial services from users likely reliant on continued funding.

The Government is investing over £2 billion in cycling and walking over the course of this Parliament.

The Resources and Waste Strategy for England sets out the Government’s plans to reduce, reuse, and recycle more plastic than we do now. Ministers have committed to work towards all plastic packaging placed on the market being recyclable or reusable by 2025.

I am very proud to represent a coastal community, and fishing has been an important part of our local economy for a thousand years. My father was a keen fisherman and used to take me out in his boat at the weekend, and I want to preserve this pastime for generations to come.

Southend West is known for its outstanding fishing and tourist industries, and I understand how important clean water is for everyone locally.

The Government is not proposing an attack on nature.

Dementia is an illness which is estimated to affect 1 million people by 2025. It is an illness in which I am strongly passionate to make a change for the better in.

I have been contacted by a lot of residents regarding plastic pollution, and the Big Plastic Count. I signed up to this campaign, and took part in the count.
