Gedling MP Michael Payne has announced he will be taking a break from Parliament due to illness.
Payne said on social media he would be unable to take part in upcoming parliamentary votes.
He said he was “receiving ongoing medical treatment” and was under “strict instructions by medical professionals to rest”,
The MP did not go into further detail about the illness.
He said his constituency office remained open and his staff continued to support residents.
Payne, who was elected in 2024, said: “This is incredibly frustrating for me.
“I care deeply about representing our community and being present for important debates and decisions in Westminster.
“Being unable to participate fully in this work is not something I take lightly, and it’s difficult to be away at a time when so much is happening nationally.”
A good Arnold man and hope he gets well soon all good mps are from Arnold Tom Randall before him
Get well soon, Michael. Best wishes
