The Bill passed its Second Reading today, with a majority of the House voting in favour: 330-275.
The Bill will now face further scrutiny and debate.
I am grateful to everyone who wrote to me about the Bill; I’ll continue to engage with the debate as it proceeds.
@MazumaGB This is really interesting @MazumaGB@LucyMazuma - something else that makes running a business hard is when the company supposed to be doing your accounts (Mazuma) don’t respond to any communication or phonecalls, despite us being a new customer. Any chance of a response?
“It’s time to end Conservative neglect and failure to deliver. It’s time for a government that supports public services, that will devolve power and that works with the community, delivers, gets the basics right for a fairer, greener Adur."

In my constituency, I'm looking after a cancer patient (I'm doing all I can to fix it) who is living in a tent. Can you imagine living in a tent, in this weather, not holding down food, all alone, with a life-threatening diagnosis. And you @SuellaBraverman want to take that away!
Thanks goes out to the campaigners who worked peacefully to save the poplar tree.
Questions still remain however about the lack of infrastructure to support developments along Brighton Rd and the Labour group will not let up asking those direct questions.

We need better infrastructure to meet the needs of our community and the challenge of large developments - better public transport, cycle lanes, more school places, new GP consulting rooms, green spaces and drainage and sewage systems that are fit for purpose.
At the recent full council meeting, we brought a motion urging the Council to protect our sitting tenants, Esteem, who were given notice of the Council's desire to sell the Old School House building.
Here is their website.

Is this a rhetorical or actual question, @transportgovuk?
Because many of the potential answers are in your own guidance - the statutory guidance you’ve just withdrawn.

People have forgotten what the word scurvy means, and rickets was something that died out with the establishment of our NHS. Free milk, vitamins, health checks were part of a huge post war Labour Government public health initiative. This👇🏿is scandalous. #Inequality
Happy IWD 2023
Equal opportunities aren’t enough - equity can only be achieved through inclusion + belonging.
Celebrate wonderful women we know, love, cherish + care for. Strive for social, economic, cultural + political advancement of women around the world. #EmbraceEquity
