Address for MP Casework clive.jones.mp@parliament.uk
We must never forget those who fought for the freedoms we all enjoy today, and I was proud to stand alongside those outside of Wokingham Town Hall during the two-minute silence.

The men and women that we honour today gave the ultimate sacrifice for us all and they will always be remembered.

I was honoured to attend local Remembrance services today alongside residents across Wokingham, paying tribute to those who gave everything for our freedom.

I also continued to help raise donations for the Royal British Legion.

Here’s what else I did this week:
November 9, 2025 at 9:03 PM
Evidence Week in Parliament is in full swing, and on Tuesday I had the brilliant opportunity to speak with Professor Sian Taylor Philips about health screening.

Her insights were on population screening programmes for cancer, during pregnancies and for newborns were invaluable.

55% of cancer deaths in the UK are from rare and less common cancers, that’s why charity coalitions like Cancer52 are vital in addressing the underrepresentation of these cancers.

These inequalities in research and funding must be addressed for the sake of patients and their families.
November 6, 2025 at 10:40 AM
Last week, I attended The Royal College of Pathologists’ reception, which outlined the importance of including pathology in the NHS 10-year health plan.

I spoke with Tim Bennett from Illumina and Dr Sian Morgan, the Head of Laboratory at NHS Wales, about vital genomic testing and lung cancer.
November 6, 2025 at 9:11 AM
It was a pleasure to attend and speak at the ‘Next Ten: Accelerating Ambition in Cancer Care’ event in Parliament, which set out what cancer care must look like in the coming decade.
Earlier diagnosis, improved access to medicine and accessible clinical trials are vital in the future of cancer care.
November 3, 2025 at 2:14 PM
Last week, Leader of the Wokingham Borough Council, Stephen Conway, Deputy Chief Executive and Chief Finance Officer at the Council, Graham Ebers, and I met with the Funding Floor Group. We discussed how to support the Constituency and Council being impacted by funding shortfalls.
November 3, 2025 at 10:51 AM
I had a busy week helping collect donations for the Wokingham Poppy Appeal and joining a march before the Wokingham Lions' fireworks display.

I also urged the Prime Minister to meet the 62-day treatment target under the National Cancer Plan.

Here’s what else I did this week:
November 2, 2025 at 4:45 PM
In Wokingham, many mainstream schools are declaring that they are unable to meet the needs of children with SEND.

Every child deserves a place at school, that’s why I called for a debate to radically improve the availability of specialist provision for children with SEND.
October 30, 2025 at 1:14 PM
Yesterday, I attended the Tackling the Erosion of Hong Kong’s Autonomy roundtable in Parliament to mark the launch of Hong Kong Watch’s report.
Academic, legal and activist experts came together to discuss important topics including Hong Kong’s increasingly diminished political autonomy since 2020.
October 30, 2025 at 12:01 PM
1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience domestic abuse in their lives, that’s why it is vital to understand the signs of abusive relationships.

@loosewomen.bsky.social’s ‘Facing It Together’ campaign is highlighting the key signs that friends and family can spot to support their loved ones.
October 30, 2025 at 11:23 AM
Farage's proposed plan to force the UK out of the European Convention of Human Rights would hugely undermine our basic human rights, Ed Davey led the fight against Farage's damaging plans.

I and my fellow Liberal Democrat MPs were proud to support him in Parliament today.
October 29, 2025 at 6:22 PM
Today, I attended an event organised by Breast Cancer Now, the UK’s largest breast cancer charity whose mission is to ensure that everyone diagnosed is supported to live well by 2050.
I was delighted to join fellow MPs in “wearing it pink” to show our support for everyone affected by breast cancer.
October 29, 2025 at 3:59 PM
Meeting the 62-day treatment target is vital for patients living with breast cancer, but this has not been met by any NHS trust in 10 years. Today, I urged the Prime Minister to rectify this legacy left by the Conservatives and make meeting the target a key part of the National Cancer Plan.
October 29, 2025 at 1:32 PM
1 in 3 children with epilepsy aren’t getting the support to fully participate in school, that’s why Individual Healthcare Plans (IHP) are vital to support pupils. At Young Epilepsy’s reception, I spoke with a young constituent about how his epilepsy is affecting his attendance and the need for IHPs.
October 29, 2025 at 9:40 AM
The fastest rising cause of liver cancer deaths in the UK, one of the least survivable cancers, is fatty liver disease.

Today, I urged the Government to include the diagnosis and treatment of fatty liver disease in the National Cancer Plan, which I called for last year.
October 28, 2025 at 4:20 PM
Last week, I took part in the Swallowfield Litter Pick helping to clear rubbish from roadsides and attended the REME Freedom of Wokingham Parade and met many veterans and serving soldiers.
I also hosted a debate on the impact of NHS workforce levels on cancer care.
Here is what else I did last week:
October 27, 2025 at 9:13 AM
Kaleidoscopic UK have raised concerns that abusers are able to manipulate courts by acting as victims themselves.

Today, I called for a debate in Government time on how we can best implement experts to advise the Judiciary to prevent this, and support victims of domestic violence.
October 23, 2025 at 12:38 PM
The cuts to the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund are failing families by making accessing vital therapeutical support much more difficult.

Yesterday, I urged the Government to address the detrimental impact the cuts are having on families across the country.
October 21, 2025 at 10:47 AM
The Local Housing Allowance (LHA) is meant to help those on low incomes access the secure housing that they deserve.

But for years, this allowance has remained frozen. The Government must urgently act to end this freeze and implement support for those that need it most.
October 21, 2025 at 9:37 AM
The small boat crossing crisis was created by Nigel Farage and the Conservatives following the botched Brexit deal. This crisis cannot continue in the way it currently is, so I urged the Government to negotiate further return agreements with EU countries.
October 20, 2025 at 4:46 PM
I was delighted to welcome Ed Davey back to Wokingham last week, where we called for Thames Water to be put into special administration and for future bills to be prevented from increasing.

We also visited the local charity, The Cowshed, and met with its brilliant volunteers and CEO Sally Russell.
October 20, 2025 at 2:52 PM
I welcomed Ed Davey during his visit to Wokingham last week, where we called for Thames Water to be put into special administration and visited The Cowshed charity.

I also attended Send Voices Wokingham’s Local Offer Live event and celebrated Diwali.

Here’s a few of the other things I did:
October 20, 2025 at 1:24 PM
I’d like to wish a very happy and joyful Diwali to all those that celebrate today.

I had the pleasure of attending celebrations last weekend in Winnersh and Lower Earley, which brought families, friends and the wider community together in the festivities.
October 20, 2025 at 10:46 AM
16 - 24-year-olds must visit a GP more often than any other age group to be diagnosed with cancer.
This is a dreadful statistic. That’s why I urged the Leader of the House to allow a debate on increasing access to GPs as part of the National Cancer Plan.
