Working Hard for Harrow West
Thank you for visiting my website.
I was born and brought up in Harrow, so I am really proud to have been able to serve as the Member of Parliament for Harrow West since 1997.
Through this website I will be keeping you up to date with my work in Harrow and in Parliament, but I am also really interested in your views. So, there will be opportunities to join community campaigns, sign up to regular newsletters and let me know your views on the issues that really matter to you.
I hope you find this website useful, but feel free to get in touch if you have any ideas for improving it.
I look forward to hearing from you soon,
Gareth
In October last year, the Lord Bilimoria of Chelsea and I helped to found the Zoroastrian All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG). The aim of the Zoroastrian APPG is to increase awareness of the religion and to promote the interests of the British Zoroastrian community, and the APPG has now launched a website. To learn more, click here.
Gareth Thomas MP met with the APPG for British Hindus on Wednesday 18th December at the House of Commons.
There have been many key issues raised by the British Hindu community such as raising awareness of the Hindu Religion and raising awareness to Parliament for the right to freely practice the Hindu religion in the UK and to promote the interests of the British Hindus to Parliament.

Cuts to Harrow's police are harming residents
In recent weeks, Gareth Thomas MP has released figures obtained from a Freedom of Information request which revealed that Harrow's police have been cut by nearly 22% since the Coalition Government came to power.
These deeply worrying figures show that front line police officers in Harrow fell by 116 between March 2010 and April 2012.
Further to this, it was revealed last week that London Mayor, Boris Johnson is proposing to close Pinner Police Station and the police counter at the Civic Centre.
The cuts will affect Harrow's residents as there will be less police on the street protecting you. To sign our petition, please click here, and stand up for Harrow's police!
The Great Tory Train Robbery
You may have felt the effects of Boris Johnson’s fare increases. Despite promising to cap rail fare increases to 1% above inflation, unsurprisingly and not for the first time, the Prime Minister backtracked on his promise and has allowed the Mayor of London to increase rail fares.
Since Boris Johnson has become Mayor, fares have gone up above inflation every year. Single bus journeys have gone up by 56% - people in Harrow simply cannot afford yet another fare hike in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis.
