Environment and Food

Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Dartmoor Ponies

“I recognise the work that the Secretary of State and Ministers have done on this issue, and I thank them for their engagement. While the Conservatives rejected recommendation 27 of the Fursdon review, will she reassure me that this Government will find a solution that works for all the communities on Dartmoor and ensure a thriving population of Dartmoor ponies? Will she join me on Dartmoor in the coming weeks to see these beautiful native creatures and the organisations that care for them?”

Royal Mail: Universal Service Obligation

“I thank my hon. Friend for securing this debate and for the excellent speech that he is giving. I recently joined Tim and Lizzie for a walk around our main Commonwealth war graves site in Higher cemetery in Exeter, which sits at the centre of the shared endeavours across the Commonwealth in both world wars. It really keeps the memory of those people and of our shared history alive. Will my hon. Friend join me in commending the Commonwealth War Graves Commission for all the work it does across the world in tending the graves of the people who died in the service of our countries and keeping their memory alive?”
