How I can help
Every day I help constituents with a wide range of individual issues. Generally I am able to help with any issue that falls under the responsibility of central government, such as problems with welfare benefits, immigration and health.
There are some issues I am not able to help with, but my team are always on hand to offer advice on where you can find the help that you need.
