Many constituents have contacted me about the Coronavirus pandemic. I fully appreciate the many concerns people will have during this time of uncertainty. Covid-19 represents a serious challenge to public health not only in the United Kingdom but for across the world.

People living and working across Great Yarmouth will benefit from today’s Budget as the Conservatives deliver on the promises made to the British people, investing in infrastructure, the NHS and public services across the region.

This an important step forward, putting in place for new immigration arrangements now that we have left the European Union. As a Home Office Minister, I was involved in the background work getting ready for our new immigration rules to be agreed by Parliament.

As Security Minister, Brandon answered an urgent question from the Labour Party about the oversight of counter-terrorism policing by the Government. In his response, he made it clear that the Government's priority is keeping our country and citizens safe from terrorists.
