I am delighted to have been asked to join the Home Office, in a team whose central purpose is to keep the people of this country safe and secure.
I look forward to building on the meaningful, positive change this Government has already brought about, from driving the global fight against modern slavery, to taking dangerous weapons off our streets and protecting the most vulnerable people in our society, bringing with me my experience of working in criminal courts.
It is an honour to represent the people of Louth & Horncastle and I will continue to do so as I take on these new responsibilities.
