A number of constituents have sent me a copy of a
campaign email regarding Permanent funding for the National Wildlife Crime
Unit.
As a principle I never sign early day motions as
they very rarely achieve anything whilst at the same time running up costs to
the taxpayer.
The funding of various bodies is always a big
concern for supporters and the organisation itself and I note the comments made
regarding funding for IFAW. With the budget not far away, it is something I can
raise with ministers to see if any permanent provision is proposed.
We will be able to review our own laws and
regulations (once we finally leave the EU) on a whole raft of issues not least
the ones raised in the campaign.
The governments commitment to recruit another
20,000 police officers will be a major boost to ensuring existing and new laws
and regulations are enforced.
When I see ministers I will raise the concerns
expressed about the future of IFAW and the ongoing excellent work they perform.
