27/08/2020 - 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.
27/08/2020 - There is no place in this country for animal cruelty, and we must ensure that those who abuse animals are met with the full force of the law.
27/08/2020 - I share constituents’ concern about the protection and health of British waters and I am fully aware of the impact that super trawlers have on marine life.
27/08/2020 - All wild birds are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and there are strong penalties in place for offences committed against birds of prey and other wildlife, with most wildlife crimes carrying up to an unlimited fine and/or a six-month custodial sentence.
I would like to be very clear that anyone who has left the UK to support terrorist organisations – organisations that seek to cause harm to our citizens and sow hate in our country – is not welcome home.
27/08/2020 - The UK has always championed freedom of religion or belief for everyone. As a country that has always been a beacon for freedom and tolerance, I passionately believe the UK should not shirk its responsibilities.
