Statement by Lucy Allan MP:

"The death of George Floyd as result of police brutality in Minneapolis has been a hugely shocking and defining moment for the United States but also for us in the UK.

I am pleased that the Bill will ensure the environment is at the heart of all policy making and that this and future governments are held to account if they fail to uphold their environmental duties.

I have received a lot of emails about the protection of our Oceans, and would like to highlight what this Government is doing to conserve our marine environment. Oceans are currently facing unprecedented challenges, including climate change and over-fishing.

Today, I voted against all amendments added to the European Union Withdrawal Bill by the House of Lords.

For two and half years, we have heard constant sound and fury from those who would block Brexit and who will stop at nothing to get their way.

Most people just want the Prime Minister to deliver Brexit and to get on with it.  Of course Brexit must mean that we regain our sovereignty, put an end to free movement of people, and stop paying huge sums of money to the unaccountable EU.

Telford grooming gang leader Murbarek Ali, was released on licence in November 2017, just 5 years after he was sentenced to a 22 year term.

Now we learn he has breached his licence and he is back in jail.

After more than 4 years of uncertainty, clinicians have unveiled their plans for the future of hospital services in Shropshire.  The Government has announced that £312m will be made available to fund these plans.

Four months ago we had a General Election.

At that election, the Prime Minister received a personal mandate from the British people to lead the country through Brexit and beyond.

One of the biggest challenges facing the country, is a lack of affordable housing. It ought to be an achievable dream for anyone to be able to work hard, save up and buy their own home. For far too many people this dream is unattainable.
