PRESS RELEASE: West Dorset MP joins agricultural trade discussions with Australia

In recent months, we have relied upon our charities and local voluntary groups more than ever.

The MIU at the the Yeatman Hospital closed on April 6 2020, during the early weeks of lockdown, a decision taken by Dorset Health Care Trust to manage the impact of covid-19.

When I was elected, almost a year ago, never did I expect to have to vote on a piece of legislation, as I did on Wednesday 4th November about a ‘national lockdown’.

As the only new Member of Parliament who lives on a farm, I offer my view on the Agriculture Bill as a tenant beef farmer’s son; who has lived and breathed rural West Dorset farming for most of my life – including during the very difficult ups and downs of the 1990s.

Thank you all who completed my survey, which is now CLOSED. On Saturday 31st October, the Prime Minister made an announcement that a second national lockdown is imminent.
