Campaign Responses

Please find below responses to campaigns which Darren has received which he believes should be available for everyone to see:

Allegations of Voting Against Regular NHS Staff Testing

I have been contacted regarding fake reports that Conservative MPs voted against regular testing of NHS staff. 

To be very clear, I am not against regular testing of NHS staff. I am in favour of NHS staff testing policy as advised by the Chief Medical Officer.

Open our Pools

I understand that many people are keen to get back into the pool and so I welcome that outdoor water parks and swimming pools will be able to open in England from 11 July.

Drop the Debt

I have been contacted regarding debt cancellation for the poorest countries in light of the coronavirus outbreak. 

Finns Law

Thank you for contacting me about strengthening the law to protect service animals. I entirely share your concerns about this issue and agree with the ‘Finn’s Law’ campaigners that these brave and loyal animals deserve our best protection

2-week Quarantine

I have been contacted regarding the 2-week quarantine.

I welcome the introduction of travel corridors, this is good news for British holidaymakers and businesses. 

WaterAid Campaign

I have been contacted regarding WaterAid’s work to reach people with clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene. 

Support for the Hospitality Industry

I understand that this has been a difficult time for the hospitality industry in Broxtowe. I have kept in regular contact with many businesses and have raised their concerns with my Ministerial Colleagues. 

Protect Renters from Coronavirus Evictions

I have been contacted regarding evictions during Covid-19.

I welcome the steps the Government has made to protect renters during the Covid-19 outbreak including introducing a five-month moratorium on evictions and suspending housing possession proceedings in the courts
