NOTICE

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON CORONAVIRUS

My office continues to remain available to support and assist constituents with all enquiries and casework. Following Government advice to tackle coronavirus, our ways of working are changing. Enquiries will continue to be responded to as soon as possible and we ask for your patience as it may take longer than usual to reply. We will be prioritising casework and enquiries to help those most in need and vulnerable as well as doing what we can to support national and local efforts to tackle the coronavirus outbreak. However, please be assured that we will still address and deal with all enquiries that come in and we will provide a ‘business as usual’ approach as much as possible.

We also ask that all contact is electronic via emails, as we cannot guarantee that we will be able to respond to letters or telephone calls in a timely manner. I can be contacted by email, sent to: WithamMP@parliament.uk

This is an unprecedented national crisis and we can all play our part by pulling together and supporting each other at this challenging time.

For the latest information and guidance on coronavirus, please visit the Government’s dedicated website: https://www.gov.uk/government/topical-events/coronavirus-covid-19-uk-government-response

Best wishes,

Priti

The Rt. Hon. Priti Patel MP

ABOUT PRITI

I am a campaigning MP who has successfully secured new laws to help victims of crime. I have also generated tax cuts, support for small businesses and new trade and investment opportunities. I have had an international career in the private sector and, while growing up, I supported my parents in the running of their small businesses. I am a strong believer in our political and economic freedoms which provide us all with the opportunities we need to succeed, no matter who we are and regardless of our background.
