Question
To ask the Prime Minister, whether he plans to visit York before 7 May 2015.
Answered by Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton
I regularly visit all parts of the United Kingdom, including York. Under this Government, crime in Yorkshire has fallen by 21%, employment has risen by 129,000, 470 academies have opened, there are more nurses and doctors, and 43,950 new homes have been built. We are also investing over £122 million in the Local Growth deal to create over 5,000 jobs, 5,000 homes and generate £150 million in public and private investment. And the hon. Member will be aware that in Yorkshire and Humber there was a bigger rise in the number of people in work in the last year than in the whole of France.

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, whether he plans to visit York before the General Election.
Answered by Kris Hopkins
Since 2010, Coalition Ministers have undertaken regular visits to a wide variety of local authority areas in England, whilst balancing their Parliamentary work, internal Ministerial meetings in London and meetings of Cabinet Committees. Ministers also regularly host delegations from local authorities for meetings in Westminster.
York's historic city, the traditional county town of Yorkshire, has a rich tapestry of cultural attractions and a thriving economy, including a particularly strong service industry sector and a fine university. I fear it is unlikely that Ministers will be able to visit this week before the dissolution of Parliament, but this will be our loss at not being able to see what York has to offer first hand.
My Department does not centrally hold information on political visits that will take place after dissolution, but I understand the my rt. hon. Friend, the Secretary of State (Eric Pickles) will be seeking to visit a wide number of places across the country.
