We need to end the cruel and callous criminal trade in Channel crossings. The lives of innocent children are being put as risk for naked profit.

Detain and deport is the only thing that will work.

Coming soon to Gainsborough: a Savoy Cinema. 🎥🍿

Thanks to the £6 million I persuaded Michael Gove to give in Levelling Up funds.

I am deeply grateful to Gillian Keegan MP announcing today that the admissions cap for faith schools will be scrapped.

This will finally allow us to open new Catholic schools — all part of our plan to deliver better standards for all pupils and more choices for parents.

Fifteen months since the Government announced they were taking over Scampton to house 2,000 migrants and not a single one has arrived.

The site needs to be released for redevelopment so that we can get the biggest and best levelling up deal we've ever had for an RAF base.

For 14 years I have campaigned for the iniquitous admissions cap on faith-based new schools to be scrapped.

I'm hoping for good news soon.

Here in Gainsborough we have the finest urban Tudor hall in England — visit Gainsborough Old Hall! English Heritage

In the 1960s some councillors wanted to knock it down and build a car park. Thanks to the Friends of the Old Hall it was saved.

And currently blooming! 🌷

It is vital that one of the best runways in the country is preserved for a full range of uses.

I'm glad the Defence Secretary is going to meet with me to discuss RAF Scampton's long-term future.

Detaining and deporting illegal migrants is the only real deterrent.

Gainsborough on the up! Constant renovation at the Market Place.

Here at the Old Town Hall.

Why should people living in rural areas be second-class citizens when it comes to mobile phone coverage?

There is no sense in building solar panels on good arable land.

Ministers have continually reassured me that the guidance against this is clear.

We must keep up the fight to make sure planning authorities don't slip up.

I fear my colourful phraseology in tonight's debate may have veered into the unparliamentary.

But, as ever, Madam Deputy Speaker was gracious and gentle in her rebuke.
