Thank you for contacting me about tax abuse and public registers of beneficial ownership in the British Overseas Territories.
It is important that our tax system be efficient, and therefore it is right that issues of tax avoidance and evasion be addressed.
Registers of beneficial ownership serve a
I resist constant attempts by developers to concrete over our green gaps between communities. Labour's Leader says 'yes' to bulldozers, Labour Councillors said 'yes' to building on our green fields.
I am a strong and relentless defender of our cherished natural environment here.
I want to achieve more in healthcare and dentistry. We saved Worthing Hospital, at risk during Labour’s last government. We are gaining new essential community care services across Worthing and Arun.
When I first represented Worthing and Arun, parents avoided some local schools. Now they celebrate when their children are accepted into these improved schools. With my help, we have gained national support for a new school for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities.
Thank you for contacting me about smartphones and social media use by children.
From speaking with children and young people across my constituency, as well as with my own grandchildren, I recognise that there can be advantages to children’s social networking.

We are aware that despite some positive news on the economy, the c

Thank you for contacting me about assisted dying.
A terminal illness diagnosis can be devastating and distressing not only for the patient but also for their whole family.
The problem of illegal immigration must be addressed effectively. The present situation is unsafe and unacceptable.
We know that the volume of illegal small boats arriving in the UK has escalated.
Ongoing Updates on the Campaign to Improve NHS Dentistry Access
We now have the NHS Dentistry Recovery and Reform proposals. This is a widely welcomed success for our longstanding campaign.
In 1999, Horizon, a new computer accounting system, was rolled out across Post Offices nationwide despite glitches experienced during an earlier pilot test.
Thank you for contacting me regarding the rising rates of cat theft.
Britain is a nation of pet lovers and in 2021, the Government set up the Pet Theft Taskforce to investigate concerns about a perceived increase in pet theft.
This taskforce gathered, researched, and commis
Leasehold is an archaic form of residential tenure that has been abolished in most places around the world. It should be ended in this country.
I have for a long time campaigned for reforms to British law to end the injustice faced by leaseholders across the country.
I join calls across Parliament and worldwide to protect civilians: to urgently press all parties to agree to an immediate de-escalation and cessation of hostilities, to ensure the immediate, unconditional release of the Israeli hostages and to call for an end to the total siege of Gaza.

Thank you to those contacting me about Animal Welfare. A million plant and animal species are at risk of extinction and biodiversity is declining faster now than at any previous time in human history.
A longstanding campaign has been against the opportunistic attempt to build on the Goring Gap; supporting sensible developments of vital, new, good-quality homes through active engagement and cooperation with local residents and conservations groups and not concreting over every green gap and commun

A response from Sir Peter Bottomley MP:
About 30 years ago I took an interest in how many death certificates mentioned smoking, and the answer was four.
The figure may be larger now, but we should encourage medical practitioners to say that the person had been an active smoker, even if it was not
A response from Sir Peter Bottomley MP:
Our commitment to tackling climate change as a nation and as a human race has long been an important issue for me.
Signed in 1994, The Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) was the largest international agreement of its kind and played a crucial role in promoting inte
A response from Sir Peter Bottomley MP:
For many years, I have been a vocal and active supporter of the Long Live the Local campaign and their proposals for necessary tax reform.

Contaminated Blood Debate Secured
Dame Diana Johnson and I have secured a debate in Parliament on the Infected Blood Inquiry and the compensation framework.
Updates on our Longstanding Campaign to Improve Our Water:
Water quality is vastly improving. We should expect it to continue to improve as our systems become more efficient and effective.
Just 60 years ago, untreated sewage entered our water in an almost constant stream.
Progress on Protecting Access to Cash:
Thank you to those getting in touch with concerns about ongoing access to cash in Worthing, Arun and across the country.
Ordinary people need access to cash and local shops want to be able to accept money.
A response from Sir Peter Bottomley MP:
The UK has agreed not to support the issuing of any exploitation licences for deep-sea mining projects unless or until there is sufficient evidence about the potential impact on deep-sea ecosystems. This remains the case.
A response from Sir Peter Bottomley MP:
We know that the volume of illegal small boats arriving in the UK has escalated. Travel across the Channel in small boats is life threatening.
No one should be encouraged to undertake this perilous journey.
A response from Sir Peter Bottomley MP:
I am proud that the UK has consistently led the way on animal welfare, and it is right that we cement our status as a global leader by continuing to raise the bar.
A response from Sir Peter Bottomley MP:
Thank you for contacting me regarding the provision and the nutritional value of free school meals.
All children should be able to enjoy healthy food at school every day and develop healthy eating habits that will stay with them throughout their lives.
