Meeting with Policing Minister
I had a very valuable meeting with Policing Minister Dame Diana Johnson MP, during which we discussed the issues raised by Leyton and Wanstead constituents in my postbag, surgeries, and walkabouts. This was also important to follow up after meetings with our local police leaders.

Statement: The Crime and Policing Bill
This week, I am in France and Germany with the Defence Select Committee, so I was unable to vote on the Crime and Policing Bill on Tuesday. Although I could not participate in any of the votes on amendments to this bill, I supported my constituency neighbour Stella Creasy’s amendment (New Clause 20), which sought to enshrine abortion access as a human right and to prevent women who have terminated their own pregnancies from being criminally investigated.

Good to meet with Borough Commander Dan Card last week to talk through some of the key issues facing our area, from anti-social behaviour and retail theft to police presence and visibility.
