National Campaign Responses

I regularly meet with our local farmers and growers, as well as bodies, such as the West Sussex Growers Association and National Farmers Union.

Tackling climate change is a priority for the Government. I am encouraged that the UK is playing a world-leading role in reducing emissions and since 2000 the UK has decarbonised faster than any other G20 country.

Teachers have a huge impact on children’s futures and so I want all our children to be taught by the brightest and the best.

I would like to reassure you that there has been no change in legislation and that the ban on using animals for the testing of finished cosmetic products remains in force.
 

I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to the Windrush generation. These men and woman came to the UK, built their lives here, enriched our communities and are rightly a central part of our great national story.

As you will be aware, the Department for Transport (DfT) is running a series of electric scooter trials in select areas across the country. The trials will run for twelve months, allowing the Government to investigate the true benefits and costs of electric scooters.

I am pleased that this Government remains fully committed to the Environment Bill as a key part of delivering the manifesto commitment to create the most ambitious environmental programme of any country on Earth.

I wholeheartedly understand that local bank branches and access to cash remain vital aspects of the day-to-day lives in local communities across our country, particularly for the elderly, disabled and those in rural communities.

My ministerial colleagues and I are committed to defending freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) for all and promoting respect between different religious and non-religious communities. Indeed, promoting the right to FoRB is one of the UK's longstanding human rights priorities.

It is incredibly important to protect and support the health of children and young people in our society. In recent years we have made huge progress in understanding mental health issues, and I support efforts to transform children and young people’s mental health for the better.
