Issues
Identity Theft
“I do not know if you tweet, Mr Speaker, but may I direct you to a person called “Mrs Jennie Bone” on Twitter, who is being followed by more than 100 people, including journalists and Members of Parliament? It is very interesting and amusing, but with one slight problem—it is completely bogus. This is a really important issue if people are taking other people’s names and purporting to be them. While that person is saying funny things at the moment, they could put up something racist or pornographic at any time. So may we have a statement about people taking over other people’s identity on the internet?” [1]
Rogue Dialling
“To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what measures the Government are taking to tackle internet rogue dialling.” [2]
Prior Career
Chartered accountant.
Education

Other
Member of socially conservative Cornerstone Group.
