“What has Steve Baker ever done for Wycombe?”


It has been an honour to work for Wycombe since I was first elected in 2010 as its MP. Whether it is running around West Wycombe, seeing a performance at the Wycombe Swan Theatre, exploring our beautiful countryside, or enjoying the culinary delights that our diverse community brings, it has been a pleasure to live in Wycombe with my wife all these years. Given I have had a large national profile over the past decade, the work I have done […]

Update from Westminster – Restoring the Executive in Northern Ireland


Last week, the Government reached an agreement to restore the Executive in Northern Ireland. I am proud to have been a part of the work which went into the agreement, and I am in no doubt that effective devolved government is the surest way to safeguard the Union and deliver for the people of Northern Ireland. Last week also marked the 4th anniversary of Brexit, which afforded the British people opportunities to cut burdensome red tape, build new trading relationships […]

The Government is acting to tackle Islamophobia


I know the great pain that many are feeling locally for the terrible suffering of innocent people in Gaza.

I know the conflict has brought a new wave of fears to Muslim communities in the UK. Hate crimes against Muslims are significant, and more needs to be done.  […]

My replies to correspondence on Gaza


I know the anguish that so many in Wycombe and across the UK are feeling at this time. Given the volume and scope of correspondence I have received from constituents on this issue, I am sorry it is not possible for me to respond to every point raised in every email.  The loss of innocent lives in Gaza is a terrible tragedy. There is never justification for the brutal targeting of civilians on any side.  Innocent life is equally valuable everywhere […]

Update from Westminster: The Safety of Rwanda Bill


In my last Update from Westminster, I wrote about the Government’s efforts to get the Rwanda Scheme up-and-running. These were my words:  “Our community in Wycombe is a shining example in our country of the benefits that can be gained when people bring their passions and talents to our country from overseas. It is a source of great personal pride to represent a place as strong in its genuine diversity and unity as Wycombe.  “Amongst other things, local people are […]

Improving Healthcare Outcomes for All in Wycombe


Last week, it was announced that the Wycombe Elective Surgical Centre (WESC) had been nominated by the regional NHS team for the prestigious national surgical hub accreditation program. I was glad to visit Wycombe Hospital to discuss the announcement with doctors there and the many positives it will bring to health outcomes for all in Wycombe. You can read more about the announcement here: In the context of this good news, I know that some will wonder why we are […]
