In Parliament - James Frith MP

James in Parliament

Every week that Parliament is sitting I go down to Westminster with the people of Bury, Tottington and Ramsbottom in mind.

All of my work is to improve lives and living for people in our towns and I regularly challenge ministers and speak in Parliament on key issues that you tell me are important to you.

You can keep up to date with my latest interventions, questions and speeches in Parliament here. If you’ve got an issue you’d like me to raise, please get in touch.
