Thank you for contacting me about an event in Downing Street last Christmas.

The Foreign Office is working continuously to assist British nationals detained in Iran, whilst also engaging with the families of these individuals on a regular basis. I feel immense sorrow for Nazanin, herself, her husband, Richard, and their young daughter.

I did not vote in the House of Commons Standards Committee motion as I was attending COP26, although I thought that the report clearly showed that Owen Paterson was engaged in paid advocacy.

I would like to assure you that I take this issue very seriously. It is the single most important subject raised whenever I visit local schools and over the course of the last year, I have taken the time to meet with a wide range of stakeholders to hear their views on what we can all do to act to combat global warming. 

There are three major rivers running through my West Worcestershire constituency and I am acutely aware of the need to properly manage these during serious weather events, and also to protect them for leisure users throughout the year.

I assure you that Government Ministers are watching this data vigilantly as we enter the winter when all respiratory viruses increase.

I am very proud of West Worcestershire’s ancient woodlands. I recently backed the Worcestershire Wildlife Trust's plan to buy land adjoining its site at Monkwood Green, near Hallow and allow it to return to woodland.

Like many people, I have been troubled by news emerging from Afghanistan and I share your concerns about the current events.

First of all, I want to thank all the people who have made extraordinary sacrifices over the last year and a half by following the rules, helping to keep the pressure off the NHS and taking up the offer of a vaccination when it was made.
