A view from Wrexham’s Member of Parliament
Wrexham.com has invited Wrexham & Clwyd South Members of Parliament and Assembly Members to write a monthly article with updates on their work in their respective Parliaments and closer to home – you can find them all here.
Today, Wrexham’s MP Sarah Atherton writes…
This month, my report into the experiences of women in the Armed Forces and female veterans launched. This report was the culmination of a ground-breaking inquiry that gave women who currently serve – or have served – in our Armed Forces a voice. The inquiry allowed the Defence Select Committee, of which I am a member, to better understand what was going right for our female military personnel and, crucially, what has also been going wrong. The report made 35 recommendations to the Ministry of Defence, which if enacted will make sure the women in our Armed Forces are better protected.

The last month has seen a big focus on economic issues, with The Budget announced, trade deals secured, and tariffs reduced with some of our biggest trading partners. My office and I have also spent a lot of time in the last month dealing with issues experienced by local businesses exporting into the European Union, and I would encourage any businesses in Wrexham that are experiencing difficulties to make contact with me so that I can represent you in conversations with the UK Government.
