Miatta Fahnbulleh
Labour and Co-operative PartyMiatta Fahnbulleh is the Labour (Co-op) MP for Peckham, and has been an MP continually since 4 July 2024. She currently holds the Government post of Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Housing, Communities and Local Government).
MPs voted on whether to approve new regulations extending subsidies (Contracts for Difference) to Drax power station, which burns biomass. Supporters say it is needed to maintain energy security and support renewable targets; opponents argue it continues costly and controversial support for a fuel source they consider environmentally dubious.
Vote on whether to strengthen the advertising ban in the Assisted Dying Bill by requiring that any advertising restrictions also cover situations where advertisers know their adverts could influence vulnerable people's choices — going further than the basic ban proposed by the bill's sponsor Kim Leadbeater.
