Campaign Responses

  • Tweet
Chris Clarkson MP for Heywood and Middleton

Constituents regularly contact me regarding a range of issues, I always endeavor to respond directly to those who take the time to get in touch as a priority. However, my campaign responses will be published here in due course. If you can't find what you are looking for, or if would like to contact me about a particular campaign, you can do so by visiting my contact page.

Campaign against the use of Neonicotinoids

The Government continues to support the restrictions on neonicotinoids to protect pollinators, and emergency authorisations for pesticides are only granted in exceptional circumstances where diseases or pests cannot be controlled by any other reasonable means.

Fire Safety and Cladding Remediation Costs.

The £1 billion Building Safety Fund, alongside the £600 million in funding already provided for the removal of Grenfell-style ACM cladding, will help remove unsafe cladding on high-rise residential buildings, protecting leaseholders from remediation costs.

Support for People with Alzheimers and Dementia During Coronavirus.

I imagine how challenging it must be for families caring for loved ones during this difficult time, particularly those who have needed to take on extra responsibilities.

Long Live the Local Campaign on Beer Duty

In 2013, the Government took the decision to end the beer duty escalator, and beer duty has been frozen or cut several times since then. Duty on spirits has been frozen over the past two years.

Trade Bill Amendment 6

I agree that Parliament should be able to scrutinise trade policy and free trade agreements. It has an important role in debating and scrutinising the Government’s domestic and foreign policies.

Pubs Matter

I share your concern about the future of pubs and the hardship caused by the coronavirus outbreak. It is clear the economic effects of fighting COVID-19 last longer for businesses than the duration of any given restrictions, and we need to go further with our support. 

Assisted Dying

Coping with terminal illness is distressing and difficult both for the patient and their families. These cases are truly moving and evoke the highest degree of compassion and emotion. 

The Overseas Operations Bill

I consider the conduct of Armed Forces personnel serving overseas with the utmost importance.

Food Standards and Free Trade

The manifesto I stood on was clear that in all our trade negotiations, we will not compromise on our high environmental protection, animal welfare and food standards.

Electrical Safety First - Better Regulation of Online Marketplaces

I am familiar with Electrical Safety First's campaign for better regulation of online marketplaces.  As you will know, the UK has a strong product safety system to ensure products are safe before they can enter the market, and this includes products sold online.

Ban Fur Imports

We are a nation of animal lovers, so it is only right that we have some of the highest welfare standards in the world. In addition to fur farming being banned in the UK, I am pleased to note that the import of fur products is tightly regulated.

British Heart Foundation Charity Funded Research - 30th October 2020

During these incredibly difficult times the work of charities is more important than ever.
