Constituents regularly contact me to express their concern about a particular cause.

Good causes, charities, campaign groups (including 38 Degrees) and others that encourage mass emailing sadly take time and resources away from my team and me in meeting the urgent needs of individual constituents.

If you have concerns about a certain campaign, please see if there is already a response on my website before sending a mass mailing. Some responses to current campaigns are listed below.

If it is not already covered, please do contact me and my office to raise the issue directly.

If you or anyone you know are ever in need of urgent personal attention on an issue my office can assist with please feel free to call at any time.
