Moorlands MP, Karen Bradley today raised concerns regarding the loss of the Bank Holiday on 4th May this year. Karen asked the Leader of the House whether it would be suitable to include the traditional May Day Bank Holiday, on the 4th of May as well as the planned May Bank Holiday on the 8th of May to honour the 75th anniversary of VE Day, effectively resulting in an additional Bank Holiday this calendar year.

Moorlands MP has welcomed news from the Department for Transport that they have granted a short term exemption regarding the urgent issue of school transport.
Karen worked over the Christmas break on the urgent issue of making sure that there was transport available for children when the schools went back.

The New Year is a time not only to look forward to what 2020 may bring but also to look back and reflect on the many events of 2019.  It has certainly been an eventful year in British politics, culminating with the General Election in December where I was re-elected as MP for Staffordshire Moorlands with an increased majority.  I am very honoured that the people of the Moorlands residents have put their trust in me for a fourth time and will always do my very best to be a strong, clear voice for you both locally and in Parliament.  

After an incredibly hectic few weeks campaigning in the General Election, there was no time to rest for MPs, with last week’s Queen’s Speech and of course Friday’s vote on the EU Withdrawal Agreement Bill. I know how much so many of you want to see us leave the EU and I was pleased to vote for the Bill to make sure this happens.

Staffordshire’s 12 Conservative MPs – all MPs in Staffordshire are now Conservative – met in the House of Commons on the 19th December and re-constituted the Staffordshire Group of MPs who meet regularly to discuss County wide issues. 

Moorlands MP, Karen Bradley has welcomed today’s Queen’s Speech which will deliver  Brexit on 31 January and allow the Government to deliver on people’s priorities and unleash the country’s potential.
