In Parliament
As the Member of Parliament for South Northamptonshire, my main role is to represent the views, priorities and concerns of my constituents in the House of Commons and in conversations with Ministers and others. I regularly take up opportunities to question Ministers and hold Parliamentary debates on the issues my constituents raise with me, and to scrutinise national policy and the most contentious issues of the day on their behalf.

1922 Backbench BEIS Committee
In March 2022 I took on the role of Chairman of the 1922 Backbench Committee for BEIS (Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy). These committees are to give Conservative backbenchers a forum for refining their policy ideas and priorities and raising them with Ministers, while at the same time enabling Government Departments to draw on the range of interests and expertise from Parliamentary colleagues.

Start for Life
I currently serve as the Government’s Early Years Healthy Development Adviser, and chair the Start for Life Unit in the Department for Health and Social Care. In that role, I work to implement a set of policies which will be truly transformational for the development and life chances of future generations. You can read more about my work, and the long running campaign I have been involved with on the 1,001 Critical Days here.
Previous Work
Since first being elected to Parliament in 2010, I have worked on a number of campaigns and also served in several government roles. You can read more about that work here.
