I contributed in the Commons earlier on the Dawn Sturgess inquiry, which has today published its report. It was an absolute tragedy, caused by a heinous act. This should never be allowed to happen again.

I raised a question today on small and medium sized businesses in Banbury, and what is being done to support them. I visit lots of local businesses every week and hear about their concerns, so it was good to hear from the Minister today.

I am delighted that pensioners will no longer lose out thanks to changes made by the Chancellor, as compensation payments from the Pension Protection Fund and Financial Assistance Scheme on eligible pensions built up before April 1997 will from now on be linked to CPI-inflation (capped at 2.5%).

On Tuesday, I made some more contributions in the Housing, Communities and Local Government Select Committee. Here, I was questioning the Chief Executive Regulator of Social Housing, Fiona MacGregor, about what they're doing to protect tenants.

SEND - I know SEND provision is something that concerns lots of parents, and I am very aware of these issues. I held a Q&A session last week speaking to parents about these issues (see here - ??). and also raised the issue on the Politics South sofa on Sunday. I know things need to change.
