Anthony Mangnall Excerpts

Monday 23rd May 2022 Commons Chamber

[Will Quince]

The Government have taken action that is worth more than £22 billion this financial year. We have also put in place immediate support for families who are struggling by doubling the household support fund. We have made changes to the taper rate of universal credit and we have extended, by £200 million a year, the holiday activities and food programme.

[Anthony Mangnall (Totnes) (Con)]

Diptford Church of England Primary School in my constituency is operating from the village hall, because its buildings have been damaged. They are temporary buildings, so the money that might be allocated from the Department would be to repair those temporary buildings, which is clearly illogical. Will the Schools Minister meet me to see what we can do to secure money for new buildings for the school?

[Mr Robin Walker]

I would be delighted to meet my hon. Friend.
