William Wragg MP has responded to a Public consultation recommending Government considers adopting ‘Irish Option’

William Wragg MP has today written to the Managing Director of Network Rail calling for urgent action to improve the situation for rail passengers after weeks of chaos and poor service following a national update to rail timetables. 

This week in Parliament I had the pleasure of meeting Mary from Mellor- a dedicated Cancer Research UK ambassador - at a meeting of Cancer Research UK’s #ShoulderToShoulder campaign. 

As the Northern rail timetable fiasco entered its third week I have been working hard in Parliament to get answers from Government, and both Northern Rail and Network Rail about what can be done to improve the chaotic and unacceptable situation for passengers.

As part of my campaign to improve funding for Stockport’s schools, it was excellent to bring local head teachers to meet the Secretary of State for Education. 

I enjoyed meeting Dame Esther Rantzen at Parliament to learn more about the NSPCC’s #AreYouThere campaign.

It is crucial that Childline, as a branch of the NSPCC, continues its role in helping children and young people in their moment of need.

It was a privilege to visit the Stockport branch of Parkinson’s UK, which provides help and support to those living with Parkinson’s Disease and their carers.

I always enjoy visiting local schools. I recently had the pleasure of visiting Marple Hall where I met with head teacher, Joe Barker, to discuss school funding and how I can help get the best result for our area and what I have been doing in Parliament to press the case for this.

On the 13th of March MPs voted on a new eligibility criteria for Free School Meals.

Last month I was very proud to support the Dog’s Trust calling for a ban on the use of electric shock collars for pet training in England.
