Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Craig Tracey and Robert Jenrick

Tuesday 6th November 2018 Commons Chamber

[The Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury (Robert Jenrick)]

The hon. Gentleman obviously missed the Chancellor’s speech at the Conservative party conference, in which he announced the creation of a special area of economic activity at Toton, just south of Nottingham, which we expect to become one of the UK’s leading areas of economic growth. We also announced in the Budget an increase in the transforming cities fund, which will directly benefit Nottingham.

[Craig Tracey (North Warwickshire) (Con)]

T5. I welcome the announcement in last week’s Budget of investment in our high streets, which will be particularly welcome in Bedworth in my constituency. I had meetings with local businesses recently on this very issue, and particularly on their frustrations at the lack of ambition of the local borough council. Can the Minister advise how local councils such as Nuneaton and Bedworth can best take advantage of this excellent opportunity?

May I also declare an interest? I am a solicitor, not currently practising, and a prison visitor at HMP Lowdham Grange in my constituency.

I chair the all-party group on insurance and financial services and was an insurance broker for 25 years.
