Select Committees
As part of my Parliamentary duties I sat on two cross-party committees, the Children, Schools and Families Select Committee and the Joint Committee on Human Rights.
These committees drew on my background in family and children's law, and gave me a bigger voice when representing Crewe & Nantwich constituents on related issues.
Private Member's Bill
I introduced the following bill to the House of Commons in the 2009/10 session as a result of research I undertook for the successful Nantwich First Responders' campaign.
Ambulance Response Times (Local Reporting) Bill 2009-10
Public Bill Committees
Children & Young Persons Bill (Lords) 2008
I led important parts of the scrutiny and amendment of this bill.
Children, Schools and Families Bill (2009/10)
I achieved important concessions on this Bill regarding the Family Courts.
