A Conservative MP has been warned he will face a deluge of messages from campaigners after securing the coveted top spot to introduce legislation to the House of Commons.
Mark Jenkinson (Workington) won the private members’ bill ballot, thereby securing first pick when it comes to securing parliamentary time on a sitting Friday to propose a bill he wishes to become law.
He finished ahead of Labour MPs Barry Gardiner (Brent North) in second, Carolyn Harris (Swansea East) in third and Conservative former cabinet ministers Liam Fox and Sajid Javid in fourth and fifth respectively.
Labour’s Kevin Brennan (Cardiff West) and Jeff Smith (Manchester Withington) rounded off the top seven, who have priority slots for their bills.
