My Views

  • Tweet

I am very grateful to all of my constituents who take the time to share their views and concerns, on a wide variety of issues -  from local to national and international.

As I often receive a large number of emails on the same topic, and there have been times when dealing with high volumes of these has delayed my responses to urgent individual casework issues, I have decided to post here my responses to campaigns or questions on which I have received many emails.

I shall endeavour to post responses as soon as I have had the chance to conduct specific research and consult with Ministers if necessary. In the meantime, I will of course continue to prioritise individual requests for assistance from constituents experiencing difficulties with a Government Department, and to respond to these directly as quickly as I can.

With best wishes
Neil
