I am grateful for the emails I have received calling for a new housing regulator, following the terrible fire at Grenfell Tower.

Before attempting to digest the European Elections, let me say a word about Prime Minister Theresa May, who announced her departure last week.

As the Westminster week ends, and we have a brief recess, I think we have reached a significant further stage of the Brexit process.

Thank you to everyone who has been in touch about trade deals and a customs union with the EU.

Dear constituents

I thought you would like to see this letter from the PM about leaving the EU.

As I have previously made clear, I support leaving the EU with an agreement.

I intend to support this latest attempt.

Rt Hon Alistair Burt MP

Apprentices from North East Bedfordshire were joined by Alistair Burt in the House of Commons last week to celebrate the 12,000 apprenticeships provided by the UK’s Aerospace, Defence, Security and Space industries.

I am grateful for the latest emails I have received from constituents who remain concerned about beer duty and support for our local pubs.

Alistair Burt MP is encouraging people across NE Beds to come together for Mental Health Awareness Week (13-19 May), to listen to others and to highlight the support that is available to those who need it most.

The Wild Animals in Circuses (No.2) Bill has recently been introduced by the Government and is making its way through the House of Commons.

Thank you to everyone who has emailed me recently to say that they have signed the parliamentary petition to ‘End the Cage Age’, calling for a ban on all caged farming.
