Oral Answers to Questions

Jamie Wallis Excerpts

Wednesday 5th February 2020 Commons Chamber

The Prime Minister was asked—

[Dr Jamie Wallis (Bridgend) (Con)]

Q1. If he will list his official engagements for Wednesday 5 February.

[The Prime Minister (Boris Johnson)]

The whole House will want to pay tribute to the police and all the emergency services for their brave response to the terrorist incident in Streatham on Sunday. That appalling incident makes plain the case for immediate action, and we will shortly introduce emergency legislation to ensure that we do everything to protect the public.

This morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. In addition to my duties in this House, I shall have further such meetings later today.

[Dr Wallis]

On behalf of my constituents in Bridgend, may I warmly congratulate the Prime Minister on delivering on the promise made to the British people that we will leave the European Union? Will he reassure my constituents that, now that we are taking back control of our money, our borders and our laws, every effort will be made to bring jobs and investment to areas such as Bridgend that feel left behind?

[The Prime Minister]

I can give my hon. Friend that assurance. With better education, better infrastructure and high technology, we will unite and level up this country and deliver, as he is doing for the people of Bridgend.
