This site has been put together with you in mind. I receive many letters and e-mails from constituents and I want to be able to help everyone as quickly and efficiently as possible. Hopefully this site will help you, as well as me, receive the best from our relationship.
At the very top of the website you will see a list of the different pages available to you. There is some information about me, a little about Hull West and Hessle, my surgery details and useful links, of course, details for how to contact me.
As well as providing information, the site also contains both News from Westminster and Local News updates. The articles in these sections show some of the policy decisions being taken in London as well as the local news and campaigns in Hull.
