NHS Covid-19 app launched in England and Wales to help control the spread of coronavirus.
App will alert people if they have come into contact with someone who later tests positive for coronavirus.

I had a slight problem with my heart in August (not really serious) so I have taken the decision, based on medical advice, not to return to Westminster while the spike in Covid 19 lashes our country once again.

Mr Speaker, with your permission, I will make a statement on our response to the rising number of Coronavirus cases and how we must act now to avoid still graver consequences later on.

Given the votes in Parliament this week, I am posting my article a couple of days earlier than usual...

I am getting a lot of emails about the number of migrants crossing the channel in small boats to enter the United Kingdom.

As many of you know, I have for some years written a weekly column for the Plympton Plymstock and Ivybridge News, the local free sheet distributed to 80% of homes in South West Devon Constituency.

Mr Speaker, before I begin, I am sure the whole House will join me in sending our deepest condolences to the families and friends of James Furlong, Joe Ritchie-Bennett and David Wails, who were brutally killed in Reading on Saturday.

I'm delighted that the Government have today agreed to continue the Coronavirus voucher scheme for children in receipt of Free School Meals throughout the Summer Holidays. 

I have had over 300 emails on this subject, so I recognise that strong emotions have been stirred up by it – given the sacrifice we have all had to make over recent weeks. I strongly agree that there must not be one rule for Government insiders and another for everybody else.

I've had a number of people contacting me about the Agricultural Bill which was debated in Parliament yesterday (Wednesday 13th May).
