OXFORD East MP Anneliese Dodds is expecting to make her maiden speech in the House of Commons on Tuesday.

Ms Dodds, 39, became the new Labour MP for the constituency on June 8 after Andrew Smith stood down after 30 years.

She polled 35,118 votes, a majority of 23,284, an increase on Mr Smith’s majority of 15,280 in 2015.

Ms Dodds, who lives in Rose Hill with partner Ed Turner and their two children, said after she was elected that she wanted to highlight the high cost and shortage of housing in Oxford.
