Unfortunately I was unable to speak in yesterday's debate on Afghanistan. I thought it was important to share some of what I was planning to say in a quick video.
Rest assured I will continue to do what I can for my Afghani constituents, and for those caught up in the conflict.

Sarah Newton explained that the increased remit for the @H_S_E on issues such as building safety, chemical regulations and challenges posed by Covid-19, have all received additional funding from Government and should not affect the HSE's continued focus on this work.
