Monthly updates from Laura Farris

MP for Newbury

Welcome from Laura

I am delighted to have been elected as the Vice Chair for the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on the Environment. 

Like my constituents and colleagues across the House, I am passionate about promoting environmental protections and nurturing a greener, more sustainable future.
