Member of Parliament for West Worcestershire since 2010

Harriett Baldwin calls on the Government to ban the sale of Chinese lanterns across the UK as “across our tinder-dry land they are simply acting as unguided flamethrowers.”

Harriett Baldwin highlights the difficulty in putting together a group of people to make use of the Government’s gigabit voucher scheme and calls on the Government to improve the scheme to strengthen the delivery of superfast broadband to rural areas.

Harriett Baldwin urges a quick return to the commitment to spend 0.7% of GNI on international development and, at a time of increased disinformation in the world, she calls on the Government to maximise our soft power efforts such as the BBC, British Council and, the newly rebranded, British International Investment.
