Campaign Responses

Thank you for contacting me about outdoor activity providers. 
 

Thank you for contacting me about assisted suicide.
Coping with terminal illness is distressing and difficult both for the patient and their families. These cases are truly moving and evoke the highest degree of compassion and emotion. 

Thank you for contacting me about sustainable fishing in British waters and the access of large trawling vessels to our waters.
 

Thank you for contacting me about the fur trade. We are a nation of animal lovers, so it is only right that we have some of the highest welfare standards in the world. In addition to fur farming being banned in the UK, I am pleased to note that the import of fur products is tightly regulated.

Thank you for writing to me regarding badger culling.

Thank you for writing to me regarding hen harrier and raptor persecution which I too believe is a deeply concerning and serious criminal offence. Having looked into the government’s strategy regarding hen harriers specifically, I was pleased that a significant financial commitment was made in 2016

Thank you for contacting me about arthritis. I know this can be a very painful and debilitating condition.

Thank you for contacting me about wearing face coverings. I know that the Government is following scientific guidance to ensure that steps are taken to ensure that people are able to go about their business as safely as possible.

Thank you for contacting me about air quality. Poor air quality is the greatest environmental risk to our health.

Thank you for contacting me about the “Clear Access, Clear Waters” campaign. I am enthusiastic about promoting sport and recreation in the countryside, and understand the positive benefits outdoor activities can have both physically and mentally.
