During a debate in Parliament, Matthew raised concerns about school funding. Matthew stated that despite rising standards and more children in good and outstanding schools, more may need to be done to address recent cost pressures.

The full text of Matthew's contribution is below. 

A debate on anti-Semitism in British society was held in the House of Commons Chamber on Wednesday 20th February after Matthew asked the Leader of the House, Andrea Leadsom, to allow time to do so.

Matthew has asked an urgent question to the Home Office on UK nationals returning from Syria.

The urgent question follows recent media reports of Shamima Begum, a UK national wishing to return to the UK after leaving for Syria in 2015 to join Daesh. 

It really is a pleasure to follow the hon. Member for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross (Jamie Stone). I, too, shall speak to the House about one of my experiences.

Matthew has met with his constituent at a lobby day outside Parliament to discuss the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) 20 metre rule.
