Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill

Thank you for contacting me about the Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill. I take a particularly keen interest in this bill as I sit on the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee and have previously worked in the agricultural sector. 

Elections Bill and Policing Bill

Thank you for contacting me about the Elections Bill and the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill. I have addressed each Bill below: 

Elections Bill

Fur Trade

Thank you for contacting me about the fur trade.

Electoral Commission reforms

Thank you for contacting me about the Electoral Commission.

As you may be aware, the Electoral Commission has sought in recent years to bring criminal offences before the courts. This is not a role that has ever been agreed by the Government or by Parliament.

£33.6m of investment for Keighley

Keighley is receiving £33.6m as part of our Town Deal from our Conservative government to make our community an even better place to live.

Keighley has been forgotten and ignored for too long - no more. This Town Deal is a major stepping stone in helping us transform our community.
