Following her election to in the House of Commons, Creagh was able to win on a variety of issues. In 2005 she introduced the Children’s Food Bill which sought to introduce nutritional minimum standards for all meals at school as well as ban sweet drinks and fizzy drinks off vending machines in schools. Both of these proposals were endorsed by the government and were enacted under the Education and Inspections Act 2006. The year 2006 was the time when Creagh started a project to prevent scalding injuries within the home. She brought experts from medical fields, group of campaigners, and those suffering from injury from scalding to pressure the government to amend the building regulations to avoid those who are severely burned from hot hot water. The coalition demanded to make the installation of water temperature-regulating devices like a thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) which is a requirement in bathrooms built in England. In 2009, following the three-year “Hot Water Burns Like Fire” campaign and a three-year campaign to make TMVs mandatory, the Labour government announced that TMVs were going to be standard in all new bathrooms starting April 2010. In 2009, while Vice-Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Prevention of Genocide and Other Crimes Against Humanity, Creagh called on Justice Secretary Jack Straw to tighten British Law to ensure that those suspected of genocide would be brought to justice throughout the UK. Creagh claimed that the country was suffering from an “impunity gap” which allowed people who were accused of committing terrible crimes in countries like Rwanda as well as Bosnia to avoid the justice system and continue to live in Britain. In light from this issue, government decided that it would amend this bill Coroner’s and Justice Bill to make the law more stringent so that any person suspect of war crimes all over the world prior to 1991 and living in the UK can be tried in UK courts.

in 2002 Creagh in 2002, she formally accused of cronyism in the selection by the Islington Council chief executive by five Liberal Democrat councillors thus triggering an investigation by the Standards Board for England. Following the longest investigation ever conducted of the Standards Board, her complaint was dismissed. Creagh was accused by the tribunal for she was “heavily influenced by her political motives” and had been an “insensitive witness, lacking in balanced judgment and one who was prepared to make assumptions about honesty and integrity of others without any proper basis”. But Creagh claimed she “blew the whistle because I believed the Liberal Democrats were not meeting the standards we expect from people in public office. I invite people to look at my evidence and draw their own conclusions”.
