Whether any inspections were undertaken by the Animals in Science Regulation Unit following reports concerning the welfare of dogs during the recent period of extreme temperatures at MBR Acres.
Awaiting answer.
Conservative and Unionist Party MP for Farnham and Bordon.

Gregory Stafford's most consistent recent activity has been on defence — he backed the Conservative opposition motion on defence spending in June 2026 and voted for multiple amendments to the Armed Forces Bill at Report Stage. He has also pushed against the government on cyber security legislation and clean air zone fee increases, staying entirely in line with Conservative positions throughout. Beyond Westminster, he attracted unusually positive local coverage in December 2025 when he performed CPR on a constituent suffering a heart attack outside a pub — an episode that generated the most prominent individual news story about him in the data.
Stafford is a 100% party-line voter with no rebel votes since entering Parliament in 2024. His participation rate of 76% sits modestly below the Commons average. His 593 contributions across 214 debates show genuine activity, with economy and jobs, health, and social care together accounting for nearly a third of his speeches. He opposes digital ID on civil liberties grounds, has backed smartphone restrictions for children twice, and has campaigned locally for a Farnham banking hub and against VAT on church buildings — a pattern of constituency-focused conservatism rather than high-profile parliamentary positioning.
His seat on the Health and Social Care Committee explains the heavy weighting of health and social care in his speech record. His stance scores show strong alignment with pro-business and anti-tax positions, and he is notably more sceptical of assisted dying access than the Conservative average — 11% aligned against the party's 25%. News coverage over the past 90 days is broadly neutral across 35 articles, with no sustained negative or positive trend. Parliamentary record data is available from July 2024; longer-term comparisons are not possible.
Gregory Stafford is the Conservative MP for Farnham and Bordon, and has been an MP continually since 4 July 2024. He currently undertakes the role of Opposition Assistant Whip (Commons).

Select, joint and other committees Stafford currently sits on. Committee work is where much of the line-by-line scrutiny of bills and departments happens, away from the chamber.
