Interview: Maya Ellis, MP, chair of the new APPG on Babies

Maya Ellis is MP for Ribble Valley and last year was elected chair of the new All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Babies, which is supported by the Parent-Infant Foundation and made up of more than 20 MPs.

It was a great meeting, and I was so delighted at the passion from all parties to make sure we get policies right to support babies. It was extra special to have one of our officers bring her very new baby along too. This new parliament has welcomed many new MPs who have young families, so we have a huge opportunity to represent those families in a far greater way than I feel has previously been managed. The inaugural meeting was held at the end of October to elect officers, confirm the purpose of the group and begin formulating its focus and plans for the year ahead.
