Mark Prisk has challenged Govia Thameslink railway over its service along the Hertford loop. In a letter and email to Katherine Cox, Stakeholder Manager he has raised a series of complaints made by commuters about the poor punctuality and unreliability of the service.

Mark has shown support for women affected by breast cancer by dressing up in pink and encouraging their constituents to take part in the UK’s biggest, brightest and pinkest fundraiser, wear it pink, on Friday 21 October.

Mark Prisk MP has welcomed a £1billion investment in the Greater Anglia rail services, announced today by the Department for Transport.

Mr Prisk pledges to back British Farming in the wake of the EU referendum, at a recent meeting with local farmers and the National Farmers Union (NFU). The Pledge has been developed by the NFU and has seven key points:

Mark Prisk, MP for Hertford and Stortford, has backed the #NoPlaceForHate campaign which recently attracted 200 people in Ware. It follows a rise in the number of reported racist incidents.

The country has decided, by 52% to 48%, to leave the EU. Whilst I campaigned to remain, and am deeply disappointed by the result, I believe in democracy. I therefore accept the result and will now work to give this country the best possible future, outside the EU. So I don’t support the idea of having a second referendum. 

By 2020, almost half of the UK population will receive a cancer diagnosis during their lifetime. Cancer survival rates in the UK are among the worst in Europe – not least because many people are diagnosed too late when their cancer is advanced. Mr Prisk and the APPG on Cancer believe that this must change.

The City accounts for 10% of our economy, and 11% of tax revenue. So it’s vital for all of us that we ensure the City has access to the wider EU market.

Since last year’s election I’ve continued to lobby the Government for significant rail improvements on the West Anglia Line. This means better rolling stock, investment in signalling and stations and doubling the track capacity into London. I am confident that we have a strong case to make.

Free movement of people brings real benefits to us in the UK. It’s good for travel and tourism and helps businesses close gaps in the skills they need. It also enables millions of Brits to travel, study and work across the EU. Indeed, over 1.2 million British citizens have taken up the opportunity to live abroad.
