During his first 18 months in Parliament Nick has been heavily involved in the Health and Social Care Bill, having served on the Bill Committee which analysed in detail the clauses that make up this proposed legislation. He was widely reported for his stance on the Bill during the 'Listening Exercise' when he outlined what became known as the Conservative Red Lines

Following passage of the Health Bill from the Commons to the Lords Nick set about campaigning for a knife crime amendment to the Legal Aid and Sentencing Bill that would see the government accept mandatory jail sentences for youths under 18 Years of age using a knife in a threatening or endangering fashion. This report was supported by the local Independent newspaper and the The Sun ( scroll down) and eventually the government agreed to his amendment. Nick regards this as his most significant political achievement to date at Wetsminster as it both affects the constituency and resonates at a national level across the country. He is now working closely with local and national groups to help prevent youg people end up on a path towards gangs and knife crime.

Nick was recently elected by his colleagues to the Justice Select Committee having served on the Public Adminstration Committee following the General Election.
