28 April 2020

As a local MP during this most critical time for our country, I believe I have three key responsibilities when carrying out my duties:

1.       Representing Mid Norfolk’s views, queries and concerns to Ministers and their officials in Whitehall.

2.       Disseminating and signposting Government information and NHS guidance.

3.       Supporting local leaders with the response on the ground here in Norfolk.

Please see my latest video above:

And latest advice and guidance here.
