A month after the terrorist attacks in Israel killed over 1,400 people and 241 were kidnapped, Matthew travelled to the country as part of a solidarity visit with Elnet.

Matthew has welcomed announcements in the King’s Speech which sets out the Government’s agenda for the coming year.

Read by King Charles with Queen Camilla at his side, the speech was the first King’s speech in over 70 years following the death of the late Queen last year. 

Matthew has welcomed the government support for a moratorium on granting of exploitation licences for deep sea mining.

Matthew was pleased to attend the Burnt Oak Nepalese Community’s Dashain celebrations. The annual event was also attended by the Deputy Lieutenant Martin Russell, Barnet Mayor Councillor Nagus Narenthira, Barnet Councillors and the Prime Minister’s Special Advisor Councillor Ameet Jogia. 

Matthew attended the Empty Shabbat Table at JW3 to raise awareness that after three weeks, over 200 people continue to be held hostage in Gaza by Hamas terrorists.

Matthew has welcomed the Prime Minister's announcement that extra funding will be provided to protect the Jewish community amid rises in anti-Semitism. 

Following the terrorist attacks on Israel this weekend, Matthew has met with Foreign Secretary James Cleverley on behalf of constituents who are in the country.

I left Hendon at 4am this morning and travelled to Heathrow for a six-day visit to Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories.

Matthew has warmly welcomed proposals by NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board to create a hub for simple eye surgery at Edgware Community Hospital.

As a local resident of Hendon, Matthew continues to share the many concerns about the proposals for the Hendon Hub.
