| 7 Jul 2025 | Government Resilience Action Plan “I thank the Minister for the statement.

| 6 Jul 2025 | Giving Every Child the Best Start in Life “Like others, I welcome the ’90s resurgence. With that in mind, how will this announcement coincide commitments to inclusive play in parks?

| 2 Jul 2025 | Children with Allergies: School Safeguarding “I thank my hon. Friend for securing this debate.

| 2 Jul 2025 | Business of the House “I did not expect to bring this up today, but I have recently learned that tomorrow in my constituency of Stafford, Eccleshall and the villages, teaching assistants will be on strike because they are subject to fire and rehire practices.

| 2 Jul 2025 | Speaker's Conference (2024) — Oral Evidence (HC 570) “My question is to Sarah.

| 29 Jun 2025 | Road Safety Powers: Parish and Town Councils “I thank my hon. Friend deeply for securing this debate. The issue came up in the first visit that I made in my constituency, to Walton Hall academy, which is on a 60 mph stretch of road.

| 8 Jun 2025 | Planning and Infrastructure Bill “I know that my hon. Friend is passionate about this issue, as am I as a signatory to this new clause.

Those spaces benefit not just neur…” housingenvironmentlocal-government | 111 |
| 4 Jun 2025 | Free School Meals “I welcome this announcement from the Government. In Stafford, Eccleshall and the villages, it means a massive 47% increase in eligibility for free school meals, but the work will not be done until all children who are eligible for free school meals are able to access them, and I have asked my local council leader to do…” educationcost-of-livingsocial-care | 101 |
| 4 Jun 2025 | Business of the House “Two amazing young women in my constituency, Liz and Grace, are part of the team from Newport high school for girls who this week competed in the Young Enterprise finals.

| 4 Jun 2025 | Speaker's Conference (2024) — Oral Evidence (HC 570) “On your point about people choosing to go into politics, for me there was a really telling moment. I come from a very working-class background, and my mum worked in a factory. When I said I was studying to be an MP, she said, “Please don’t”. It was really sad for me that someone like my mum, who had never thought of th…” | 125 |

| 21 May 2025 | Northern Ireland Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 586) “Thank you very much for giving evidence today; your answers have been really helpful.

| 20 May 2025 | Ukraine: Forcibly Deported Children “I was in Helsinki last week as part of my role in the Council of Europe, attending a conference on the deported Ukrainian children, which was incredibly powerful. One of the most powerful things I heard was a gentleman from Yale University speaking of how the removal of funding would impact their vital work. Frankly, t…” defenceculture-community | 93 |
| 20 May 2025 | Roadworks: Cheshire “I do not live in Cheshire, but in Staffordshire—a neighbouring county—we have been plagued by roadworks in a similar vein.

| 28 Apr 2025 | Staffordshire: Cultural Contribution “The hon. Gentleman makes a good point: it is important to pass that skilled heritage on to new generations. That is exactly what Johny was talking to me about at the weekend—making sure that artists have the spaces to develop those skills, because without those spaces, as the hon. Gentleman says, the skills would be lo…” culture-communityeconomy-jobslocal-government | 252 |
