Weekend door-knocking this week was in Northgate and West Green, my old council ward.

Good day in Crawley yesterday. Toured the new Pure Gym. Met with Metrobus to discuss service changes residents had raised with me. Then visited Langley Green Hospital and the Staying Well Centre to explore current facilities and what can be done to improve mental health provision

Very sad to hear of Patrick Stewart's passing. One of our greatest ever actors, he never stopped using his status for causes he believed in, most signficiantly ending domestic violence and PTSD. I was privileged to meet him when he campaigned with us in Crawley in 2010.

So, what did we get in the Budget today?

Busy day in Westminster, continuing to review the impact of mission-led government at select committee, meeting with aviation workers to move the Abuse Doesn't Fly campaign forward, and holding further hearings on what needs to be done to deliver the affordable housing we need.

Spent morning/afternoon in Ifield West speaking with residents about what matters to them. Alongside Bewbush, Ifield West has been allocated £20m to spend on improving the local area. If you live in Bewbush or Ifield West, let me know what you think: peterlamb.org.uk/pride-in-pl…

Spent today running my weekly casework surgery followed a Bewbush Neighbourhood Board meeting. We're asking Bewbush and Ifield West residents how best to spend the £20m allocated to their areas by the Government. Let me know what you think by going to: peterlamb.org.uk/pride-in-pl…

With the Afghan Resettlement Scheme winding down and multiple migrant hotels already closing in our area, I am again seeking clarity from Government on when the Arora Hotel will return to normal operation.

At PACAC yesterday we investigated where 'Mission-led' Government went wrong and this evening I chaired the next hearing on the state of council and social housing in the UK, in my capacity as vice chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group.

As Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Disinformation I was delighted to welcome Frances Lasok to Parliament today to discuss the impact of disinformation on elections and the changes now needed to combat its impact online and guarantee free and fair elections.

Great having the backing of @unitetheunion Labour MPs for the Abuse Doesn't Fly campaign tonight. Aviation workers are pushing for changes to ensure real consequences for passengers who abuse members of staff and ruin flights for everybody, and we're proud to stand with them.
