Thank you for contacting me about the Trade Bill and New Clause 8, previously New Clause 12.
I appreciate your concerns, but I do not believe New Clause 8 would be necessary, however laudable the aims behind it. There are several reasons for this.
Thank you for contacting me about National Health Service pay.
I believe that the passion, commitment, and specialist knowledge of our National Health Service staff is part of what makes it so special. I recognise that staff morale is vital to maintaining staff commitment to services.
Thank you for contacting me about HS2 and the environment.
On the recommendation of the independent Oakervee review commissioned last year, the Prime Minister has given the go ahead to HS2, alongside major improvements to local transport networks up and down the country.
