Having had constituents in the past who were affected by carbon monoxide poisoning, and with the headquarters of the Gas Safe Register being based in Basingstoke, Maria has been a strong advocate for gas safety related issues. She is a particularly strong supporter of the Gas Safe Register and the work that they do as a local employer and, more importantly, to promote safe gas work across the country. Maria believes that it is vital to raise awareness around gas safety so that we can prevent further tragic accidents.
Maria is also a member of the All-Party Parliamentary Carbon Monoxide Group (APPCOG), which aims to raise greater awareness of carbon monoxide poisoning and emphasises the importance of Gas Safety.
