Today is #WorldBookDay - an opportunity to inspire children to develop a love of books. I was delighted to join a celebration of reading earlier this week in the the House of Commons.
Good to meet Police and Crime Commissioners from The Association of Police and Crime Commissioners in the the House of Commons to discuss tackling serious violence and ensuring victims' voices are at the heart of the criminal justice system.
Pleased to join Keep Britain Tidy in the House of Commons ahead of this year's #GBSpringClean from March 15 to 31st. This is an opportunity for all of us to join the #BigBagChallenge and pick up litter from our streets, parks and green spaces.
Following last week's meeting in Downing Street, today Chris Philp set out ways the Government is tackling shoplifting and other crimes, in response to my question in the House of Commons.
He stressed that the police are expected to attend.

Too many local people are wasting too much time stuck in traffic jams in Aylesbury. At Prime Minister’s Questions, I told Rishi Sunak that we need the money now to pay for link roads. We've suffered from the construction of HS2, we deserve some of the cash saved by scrapping it.
The plight of many tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians in Gaza is heart-rending. It is vital that essential humanitarian supplies of aid, including food, water and medicines immediately get to those who need them – as I have said repeatedly, including in Parliament.
Fascinating visit to Royal Fleet Auxiliary Tidespring to see how it supports Royal Navy operations - refuelling at sea, delivering supplies, policing shipping lanes & providing humanitarian aid.
Following my call for an urgent meeting, today I told representatives of Thames Water that they must listen to residents of Buckland, who are extremely concerned about the proposed location of a new water booster station - right next to cottages on a quiet country lane.
