April 2024

Thank you for contacting me about tackling homelessness.

Thank you for contacting me about research into and treatment for dementia.

Thank you for contacting me about actions the Government is taking to reduce smoking rates in England.

Thank you for contacting me about Furnished Holiday Lettings.

Thank you for contacting me about animal welfare and in particular about the practice of ear cropping. The practice of non-exempted mutilations such as cropping dogs' ears is abhorrent and has rightly been banned in the UK for 15 years.

Thank you for contacting me about hedgerows. Hedgerows are important ecological building blocks in our farmed landscape, providing distinctive character to our countryside and crucial habitats and food for wildlife.

Thank you for contacting me about arms exports to Israel. The UK Government takes its export control responsibilities extremely seriously and operates one of the most robust export control regimes in the world.
