Since being elected Nick Timothy MP has worked hard to represent the residents of West Suffolk in Parliament, including on core commitments in his Contract with West Suffolk.
These included promises to campaign for developers to invest more in communities, for better transport capacity in Mildenhall and a rail link in Haverhill, for a boost in educational and health services, to protect pensioners, for the reindustrialisation of our economy and for lower immigration. During the period between 4 July and 20 December, Nick has:
- Voted against the Government’s release of thousands of criminals from prisons onto the streets of Britain (on 25 July, here) and in support of the Official Opposition’s motions to reverse the Government’s winter fuel allowance cut (on 10 September, here) and its family farms tax (on 4 December, here) and jobs tax (on 4 December, here).
