Thank you for contacting me about decarbonising the economy and Early Day Motion (EDM) 2177/the Decarbonisation and Economic Strategy Bill which calls on the Government to support a ‘Green New Deal’.
As a Government Whip, I cannot, I’m afraid, under Parliamentary convention, sign EDMs.
Thank you for contacting me about the welfare of farm animals.
Unfortunately due to other Parliamentary commitments I was unable to attend the event on 22nd May, however, I am concerned about this issue and set out some comments below.
Thank you for contacting me about animal sentience and the #Betterdealforanimals campaign.
First and foremost, I believe animals are sentient beings who can feel pain and suffering, and I would like to reassure you that strong action is being taken to reduce their risk of harm.
