Your Voice in Parliament.
Your Champion in Bristol.

As your Member of Parliament for Bristol North West, I’m here to serve you.

I can help you with personal issues, usually when this involves speaking to Government departments like the Department for Work and Pensions. We call this casework.

I can answer any questions you have or ask the Government a question for you. You might want to tell me what you think or ask me to vote in a particular way. We call this policy.

When I’m not in Parliament, I love visiting local schools, community groups and events, and campaigning for issues that are important to my constituents in Bristol North West.

Ask for help.

If you are facing financial hardship with the rising cost of living, you may find this resource useful.

If you have a personal problem, usually involving a Government department, I might be able to help. I can ask officials to consider your views and I can get you an answer. I can’t make people do things and I can’t help with everything (I can’t get involved in legal processes or personal disputes, for example).

If it’s helpful, you can talk to me in person by booking an appointment at my surgery.

Ask a question.
