Health Visitors (England) (23 Oct 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: When health visitors visited me in my constituency surgery in Penkridge, their frustration was that, although they love their job and want to do it properly, they cannot do it to the best of their professional satisfaction, because of the caseloads and because there were too few of them.

Business of the House (27 Jun 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: ...of rules about councils falling very briefly below the five-year land supply to put in developments that are unwanted by local residents and environmentally unsound, particularly in the village of Penkridge.
