Portsmouth Labour

Delighted to be appointed Minister of State for Food Security and Rural Affairs. Being asked by the Prime Minister to serve our country in this role is an immense privilege.

Alongside the Environment Secretary and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) team, my focus will be clear: driving a green economy, protecting our natural environment and ensuring our rural and coastal communities truly thrive.

I look forward to working with the sector to help farms become more profitable and sustainable and backing our world-leading food, farming, and fishing industries.

Let’s get to work.

Great news for our city! 👏

Today’s news that the Government has allocated the University of Portsmouth half of the national additional training places for dentists - the first sustained expansion of dental school places in nearly two decades - is fantastic news for Portsmouth and for our city’s dental patients👇🏻
