Over the last few weeks, I have been on the Energy Bill Committee where I have been scrutinising the Energy Bill, meticulously going through all 379 pages line by line with my parliamentary colleagues as it progresses through the Committee Stage.
I had the pleasure of recently meeting actress Rosamund Pike, who serves as an ambassador for the Mines Advisory Group (MAG), to discuss her crucial role and the significant support the United Kingdom provides in landmine clearance.
Delighted to meet with the Secretary of State for Energy Security & Net Zero Grant Shapps and the Minister for Nuclear & Networks Andrew Bowie MP to discuss the Energy Bill. I am pleased we got confirmation at the meeting that there will not be a Hydrogen Levy on household bills.
Delighted to welcome Robin Chu from School for Social Entrepreneurs to Westminster for a chat about how #socents can link sectors to create jobs and tackle current social issues. I am honoured to be the keynote speaker at their upcoming event on the 17th of July.

It was a really uplifting start to the day at 7.30am to join over 650 colleagues, Christians in Parliament and clergy from across the country for the annual prayer meeting in Westminster Hall.
I had a brilliant afternoon at Longton Park to celebrate #ArmedForcesDay. It was wonderful to see such a large turnout of people coming together to celebrate and show their support for our armed forces. It was also lovely to see so many friends as well as constituents who stopped for a chat.
