Stephen has hosted a Zoom meeting for residents of East Ham to discuss the current Covid-19 pandemic.
Stephen opened by providing the party with an update on the COVID-19 crisis. He highlighted his work in Parliament as Chair of the Work and Pensions Select Committee. He also flagged with residents that he would be holding a debate in the coming week on the issue of Kenyan state pensions not being paid to UK nationals.
The meeting then moved into a Question and Answer session, with the local residents being given the opportunity to submit questions to Stephen.
Speaking afterwards, Stephen said “It is important that I keep local residents in East Ham up to date with what I am doing in Westminster. Ideally, I would like to do these at my monthly street stalls on High Street North but for now, Zoom will have to do!”
