Mid Bedfordshire MP Blake Stephenson has been appointed as Shadow Home Office Minister.
He commented:
"Since being elected to Parliament, constituents in Mid Bedfordshire have told me repeatedly that they are concerned about the impacts of migration on our country. I’ve worked hard to raise awareness in Parliament of local residents’ concerns, and after extensive research I also published a report in which I exposed the ‘Backdoors to Britain’ and made 30 recommendations to Government.
"I’m delighted to have been asked by Kemi Badenoch and Chris Philp to serve as Shadow Home Office Minister, focussed on making our legal migration system work for the country and our economy.
"Rest assured that this new role won’t distract me from tackling the many other issues that matter to us here in Mid Bedfordshire. Things like fighting for the upgrade to Junction 13 of the M1 (please sign the petition if you haven’t done so already); a proper transport masterplan for the Marston Vale and further south of the Universal Resort; working to get Wixams’ new GP surgery and the long-promised step free access at Flitwick Station built; and campaigning to extend the Forest of Marston Vale and the Chilterns National Landscape, to give more protections to our countryside."
