This week was filled with very important events. In Parliament I hosted a reception for the charity Breast Cancer Now. In Wokingham I held a public interview covering my first year as MP, also answering questions from residents. Here are some of the things I have done this week:

I have heard from so many parents in Wokingham that their children cannot get the ADHD medication they desperately need. Today, I made sure the Minister understood that this failure to provide care sets many children up to fail, and tragically a few end up falling into crime.

Details:. Where: All Saints Church, Wiltshire Road, Wokingham RG40 1TN. When: 7.30pm to 9pm (approx.), Thursday 3rd July.

The interview will include what the first few days and weeks were like, what key issues I have been campaigning on, and how I have settled into my role and my Trade brief. There will also be time for a Q&A at the end, to answer any of your questions.

Friday 4th July marks 1 year since the General Election, and a year since I was elected by the people of Wokingham to represent them. This Thursday, I am doing a public interview at All Saints Church, to share with people what I've done in my first year as the MP for Wokingham.

This week has been filled with more debates and opportunities for me to question the Govt on issues affecting us in Wokingham – like bus services. I also visited residents to speak about issues affecting them in our area. Here are some of the things I have done this week:

This week I met with the Cancer Minister, Ashley Dalton, to discuss key priorities for an effective National Cancer Plan. I’ve long called for vital improvements in cancer care, like a legally binding guarantee to meet the 62-day waiting time target, to ultimately save lives.

People in Wokingham rely on Thames Water for basic human needs, and yet people tell me it has failed in its duty, and has no financial future. Today, I called for Government time to discuss turning Thames Water into a Public Benefit Company, run for the good of the environment.

People in rural and semi-rural areas, like Wokingham, have seen their bus services deteriorate under years of Tory neglect, leaving many stranded and isolated. Today I called on the Minister to ensure councils like Wokingham will not see their funding for local bus services cut.

I’m pleased the Cancer Minister has agreed to provide self-sampling kits as part of a national screening programme. You can read the Minister's statement here: .(2/2).

Self-sampling is proven to be effective in increasing the number of women who are screened for cervical cancer. That is why I made this one of my priorities for the National Cancer Plan. The number of women attending their screenings right now just isn't high enough. (1/2).

This week, I have taken part in important debates in Parliament, and met with key Ministers to ask questions on local and national matters. I also met with constituents in Wokingham about their issues and concerns. Here are some of the things I have done this week:

It’s common sense that infrastructure, like GP surgeries, is needed alongside new houses. We see this in Wokingham where people find it increasingly difficult to access a GP. It’s a shame the Govt hasn't listened to our proposal, but my Lib Dem colleagues and I will keep pushing.

People from Hong Kong have come to this country and contributed massively to our communities, especially in Wokingham. It would be a breach of trust for the Govt to pull the rug on Hong Kongers with BN(O) status – people in Wokingham need clarity now.

RT @ElusiveBrew: Huge thanks to our MP @CliveJonesMP for supporting us in seeking to improve access to our local market. @SIBANational's on….

Wokingham is proudly home to premium independent brewers, such as @ElusiveBrew, who won Best IPA at the Champion Beer of Britain awards. But they need support. I questioned the Govt. on what is being done to ensure people in Wokingham can enjoy great local products in pubs.

Yesterday, I had the privilege of meeting the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry, to discuss the importance of drug development, particularly in cancer care. The UK needs to become the world’s cancer research superpower, to attract investment and tackle cancer.

Yesterday, I met with the Minister for Competition, Justin Madders, to discuss regulating online marketplaces to protect consumers and high street businesses. I’ve pushed for greater regulations for months; finally, the Minister committed to implementing regulations by mid-2026.

An exciting new opportunity has opened up in my team for a Parliamentary Assistant. This role is perfect for a highly driven individual who wants to help make a difference. You would be joining a fantastic team, with a range of experience.

I am very pleased to support my colleague’s, @MartinWrigley, Better Business Act. This proposal will obligate companies to operate in a way that benefits not just the stakeholders, but also the workers, customers, and environment. This Act would hugely benefit Wokingham too.
