Debate between Jesse Norman and Shailesh Vara

Thursday 14th February 2019 Commons Chamber

[Mr Shailesh Vara (North West Cambridgeshire) (Con)]

My constituents and I have been campaigning for many years to secure a flyover on the A1 by Wittering. Will the Minister agree to meet me and my constituents with a view to progressing matters?

[Jesse Norman]

That sounds like a local transport matter, but I am of course happy to meet my hon. Friend and any local councillors whom he may wish to bring.

Tuesday 1st July 2014 Commons Chamber

[Jesse Norman (Hereford and South Herefordshire) (Con)]

T5. Hereford county court is a highly effective and important local institution. However, there is a break clause in the lease for the court premises for this next year. If the court has to move, has the Secretary of State considered co-locating it with other public services in Hereford? Can he reassure local people that, whatever happens to the premises, Hereford will continue to have a county court?

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice (Mr Shailesh Vara)]

I can tell my hon. Friend that Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service is aware of the break clause in the lease for Hereford county court’s premises for next year. The Courts and Tribunals Service continues to keep the use of its estate under review to ensure that it meets operational needs.
