Member of Parliament for Wokingham.
Governor at Royal Berks Hospital and cancer care campaigner.
Former leader, Wokingham Borough Council.

Address for MP Casework clive.jones.mp@parliament.uk
The Liberal Democrats are calling for online platforms to have a film-style rating based on the risk they pose to children in the UK.

If the platforms of social media giants rely on addictive algorithms or spread harmful content, then they should not be allowed to be anywhere near children.

The Government’s decision to approve a Chinese ‘super embassy’ is deeply concerning and will alarm many people, particularly the Hong Kong community here in Wokingham.

It was great to speak to residents at my recent supermarket surgery in Winnersh Sainsbury's on Saturday. As your MP, it is essential for me to hear about the issues that are affecting you and to discuss how my team and I can help. I look forward to meeting many more constituents at my next surgery.

The Health Secretary must allow the House to debate the National Cancer Plan, and I was pleased to hear that the Leader of the House agreed.
The plan is vital in improving survival outcomes for cancer patients after years of Conservative neglect, and its debate and scrutiny in Parliament is crucial.

Ahead of the National Cancer Plan’s publication, I chaired the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Breast Cancer's meeting, with Sir James Cleverly as vice-chair. I have also helped constituents with many cases, including issues with the Child Maintenance Service. Here is what else I've done this week:

The Conservatives plunged the NHS into crisis. 6,450 patients waited 12 hours in the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust A&E in 2025, which is unacceptable.
Today, the Lib Dems announced our plan to eradicate 12-hour waits and hospital ‘corridor care’ within a year and bring this crisis to an end.
Our plan to end the A&E corridor crisis
30,000 people wait for over 12 hours in A&E departments every single week - it's a national scandal and we have a plan to stop it.

Cancer patients and their families deserve better, which is why I called for a debate on tackling variations in cancer care across the UK. I was extremely disappointed by the Leader of the House’s response to my request, and I will continue fighting for consistent and accessible cancer care for all.

I was proud to lead a Westminster Hall debate on less survivable cancers this week, calling for improved survival outcomes.

I also met the Wokingham representative of the Teachers’ Union and the leader of the Owain’s Law campaign.

Here’s what else I have been up to this week:

Brain tissue freezing preserves DNA and RNA, so it is vital to developing new treatments, advanced diagnostics and research into brain cancer.

Yesterday, I met with Ellie James who is the leader of the Campaign for Owain’s Law, which calls for fair and equal access to tissue freezing.

Thames Water is £17bn in debt, yet residents in Wokingham are the ones paying the price. Around a third of residents' bills go to servicing that debt, while raw sewage is pumped into our rivers like the Loddon. The Government must act and put Thames Water into special administration.

I hope you all had a merry Christmas, and have a happy New Year.

Here's my update for what I have been up to over Christmas:
December 29, 2025 at 10:01 PM
I finished Christmas Eve visiting our emergency services to thank them for their hard work and to also drop off some sweets.
December 27, 2025 at 8:36 PM
It is a great privilege to visit our hard-working health care workers today to wish them a happy Christmas, and to thank them for keeping us safe over the holidays.
December 24, 2025 at 2:44 PM
This morning, I visited the Royal Berks Hospital to speak with patients and hard-working staff on Christmas Eve, and of course deliver some sweets.

It is such an important time to recognise the efforts of our NHS staff in caring for us, our family, and our friends.

Wokingham in Need is a brilliant local charity, providing support for vulnerable residents in Wokingham through volunteer-led projects. The charity received the King's Award for Voluntary Service this year, and I paid tribute to the charity's amazing volunteers and founder Sue Jackson today.

The Lib Dems have been campaigning for years for the UK to rejoin the Erasmus+ scheme, which allows young people to study abroad in Europe. This week the Government has finally listened. But more must be done to restore our relationship with the EU for the sake of our young people and their futures.

Wokingham is the lowest-funded unitary authority in the UK and is facing ever-rising costs for adult social care and children’s services after years of Conservative neglect. I will continue to advocate for Wokingham to ensure our local services receive the funding they deserve.
December 17, 2025 at 5:46 PM
Last week, the Wokingham Youth Council invited Yuan Yang MP and I to debate brilliant questions submitted by members and pupils of local schools. It was wonderful to speak to young people about the issues that matter to them most, including climate change and displacement caused by global conflicts.

The Cowshed is a brilliant charity providing essential items for those facing hardship in the local area.

Their Christmas Present Appeal is providing gifts to approximately 3000 children this year and I was proud to show my support for the project by wrapping up hand-picked presents for children.
December 15, 2025 at 12:06 PM
As of last week, I have given 200 spoken contributions in Parliament since being elected on the 4th of July 2024.

I will continue to raise the concerns of my constituents in the year ahead, so that residents will have their voices heard by our Government.

The Wokingham constituency has a brilliant group of breweries that contribute so much to our local community and economy.

Last night, I celebrated Wokingham’s thriving beer and pub sector and I was delighted to meet up with Andy Parker, the owner of Elusive Brewing based in Finchampstead.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer’s flip-flopping on the Budget, various leaks and misleading comments about the state of public finances have resulted in Labour appearing as incompetent as the Conservatives. Labour have let down the public and must be transparent with us all.

Evelyn-Mae, the winner of my Christmas card competition, joined me in Parliament with her family to meet Sir Lindsay Hoyle MP, the Speaker of the House of Commons. Her winning design on the cover of my Christmas card is being posted through thousands of letter boxes this month. Well done Evelyn-Mae!

Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting CLASP, a member-lead charity providing excellent support for adults with learning disabilities in Wokingham.
It was a brilliant opportunity to answer members’ questions and to learn more about the great significance of the charity.

Small Business Saturday is a brilliant annual event, celebrating the resilience of small businesses in our community.
In Twyford, I had the pleasure of visiting Dolphin Brewery, Glass.Half.Full, La Fontana, H F Newbury and the Rural Pie Company to learn more about the issues that owners are facing.
