After yesterday's Commons statement, I urged the Government to swiftly address the state pension age issue for 1950s-born women. Compliance with Ombudsman's recommendations is crucial for democratic accountability youtu.be/u5TqbF31uTo

After the Ombudsman's report on women's state pension age, I urged Government to work with Parliament to remedy this injustice as quickly as possible. Having long supported WASPI women campaigners, it's time to put things right youtu.be/kLEMj6m20DE

I spoke in a debate on the Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill amendments to reduce flaring of methane & to improve marine spatial planning. These are well-reasoned, though these issues are better negotiated by the independent North Sea Transition Authority youtu.be/PbS_NVywIDg

It’s wonderful to see a second series of High Street Histories being published by @HistoricEngland @lowestofthaz @thepoetrypeople. These brilliant short films bring Lowestoft’s history to life in a really engaging way. I’m looking forward to watching them when they are published

“A policeman’s lot can be made considerably easier and hopefully happier if red tape is reduced.” @peter_aldous says PFEW’s proposed amendment to the DPA would cut bureaucratic burden and free up 1000s of police hours as pre-charge redactions would not be required. #SimplifyDG6

I welcome Suffolk’s police funding increase of 6.7%, with response finance of £1M, but the funding review needs to be sped up. The Government needs to consider proposals to amend the Data Protection Act to reduce the burden of pre-charge evidence redaction youtu.be/EuJ_brQ0Rj0

In the debate on local government finance yesterday, I repeated my calls for multi-year financial settlements for local government. The Government needs to ensure that funding settlements recognise the added cost of delivering services over coastal areas youtu.be/cibi-mRAGbM
