Last Thursday was World Malaria Day. I wrote a piece for ConservativeHome about my work as a member of the International Development Committee on this issue, as well as some reflections on my work as Mid-Derbyshire’s MP. You can read it here: conservativehome.com/2024/04/25/pau…

Overjoyed to be at Pride Park today to see Derby County promoted. Congratulations to the whole team #DCFC

Not only will this £75 billion keep Britain safe, it will also guarantee our long term support for Ukraine.

Which is how we’ve today announced the largest ever military donation and an extra £500 million to help Ukraine defeat Putin.

Very pleased to vote in favour of the Football Governance Bill this week. In the past, Derby County fans were let down by poor governance. This Bill will prevent such situations from ever happening again.

A pleasure to sponsor the Rail Forum 2024 Parliamentary Reception for the fourteenth (and final!) time. Rail is crucial to Derbyshire’s success and the Rail Forum continues to do great work in this area.

Ben is right, the Belper Mills are hugely significant buildings and it is terrible to see their condition decline. We must agree appropriate redevelopment soon and preserve their proud UNESCO status.

Pleased to have supported Dr Luke Evans MP campaign and delighted to see Tesco launch a Best of British section.

Really positive step for Alstom and for workers in #Derby as there's been real progress on new train orders for the Elizabeth Line.

Having met with reps from Alstom and regularly with the Sec State, I know this was the breakthrough they were looking for.

Today I asked the Rail Minister, Huw Merriman, to confirm that Conservative MPs in Derbyshire have been working hard with the Transport Secretary to find a solution to the problems at Alstom. You can watch my question here: facebook.com/pauline.latham…

I've been with Pauline Latham OBE MP to visit with sports clubs from #Belper and #Duffield , to discuss the challenges they've faced with flooding, and also the long term sustainability of grass roots #sports in the region.

I've already been working on plans to bring significant new…

I'm in #Belper with the team today, and with Pauline Latham MP and Deputy Chairman of the Party Jonathan Gullis MP speaking to residents in the town I grew up in.

I lived here for probably 12 or so years, played hockey and rugby for the local clubs for many years, and I've just…

Thank you so much to Pauline Latham OBE MP for meeting with us at University of Derby yesterday to learn more about animal-free, human-relevant research.

Great to read about this new funding – it means more apprenticeships to support our nuclear and aerospace sectors, addressing key skills shortages - as well as a new degree apprenticeship in Public Health.

Thank you to all Mid-Derbyshire residents who have contributed to this. With these funds, the tracks can now be moved and the line reopened hopefully by the summer.

Great to hear that Belper Leisure Centre and Woodlands School in Allestree will receive £175,000 and £128,000 respectively to upgrade their facilities from Sport England’s Swimming Pools Support Fund. This is all part of the Government’s aim to get 3.5m more people active by 2030

Fantastic to see more investment coming into Derby. A huge vote of confidence in our city from one of the UK’s best trading partners, and thousands of jobs with it.

This week marks the start of the rollout of this government's record expansion of childcare.

By the end of our rollout, this will save working parents on average £6,900 a year, helping 60,000 more people back into work.
