Honoured to return to Pakistan in my new role as Trade Envoy. Conversations in Islamabad and Karachi have left me optimistic about strengthening our trade and investment ties and setting the stage for the upcoming UK Pakistan Trade Dialogue. @ThePBC_Official, @lance_domm & @ukinpakistan

Spoke in yesterday’s Westminster Hall debate on swimming facilities. Many constituents have raised concerns about the possible closure of Trinity Pool in Bedford. I urged the Govt to support public pools and will keep pushing locally too.

I was thrilled by the PM's fantastic news for our area today!
He was spot on about the UK's world-class creative industries, and the benefits this project will bring to Bedfordshire.
I will ensure my constituents' voices are heard every step of the way - roll on 2031.

At #PMQs today I was pleased to confirm the PM shares my commitment to ensuring Bedford & Kempston sees the benefits from growth and investment in our region.

A world-class theme park and resort would be at the heart of this!

I welcomed David Lammy's points on the appalling killings of aid workers in this conflict, and the need for allowing them to carry out their critical work without threat of attack.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is heartbreaking. I will continue to push for greater aid for civilians in the region.

The ceasefire between Hamas and Israel is an important but fragile moment of hope. We must work to secure lasting peace. Only then can the rebuilding begin.

Today, I called on the Foreign Secretary to back a lasting peace & two-state solution, as well as help get vital aid to Gaza.
