Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Chris Heaton-Harris and Cheryl Gillan

Thursday 2nd July 2020 Commons Chamber

[Chris Heaton-Harris]

I thank the hon. Lady for her question. Actually, £504,000 has been provided to Sheffield City Region Combined Authority to date through the covid-19 bus service support grant. In addition, we are spending a huge amount of money—£3 billion—on a bus strategy going forward. I would like to think we can work together to deliver the service that her constituents require.

[Dame Cheryl Gillan (Chesham and Amersham) (Con) [V]]

As the Secretary of State will know, many of my constituents in Chesham and Amersham depend on Heathrow for their work. Do the Government plan to introduce a covid-19 testing programme at airports, and is he working with our trading partners to establish a common international standard for health screening to accelerate the recovery of the aviation sector and rebuild consumer confidence in our airports and our aviation industry?
