Business of the House

Julie Marson Excerpts

Thursday 25th March 2021 Commons Chamber

[Mr Rees-Mogg]

The hon. Lady is right to mention the national strategy for disabled people. Spring has only just sprung—we are only a very few days into it—so the intention is still very much to publish it in spring. In terms of parliamentary time, with the recess that is coming up and the end of the Session in sight, I fear that I cannot promise her the debate that she asks for in Government time, but it may well be a subject for an Adjournment debate, or indeed the Backbench Business Committee may be able to slot it in on one of its remaining days.

[Julie Marson (Hertford and Stortford) (Con) [V]]

After many months of conversations with senior executives from BP and McDonald’s, I am pleased that the two companies have agreed to progress a scheme that will resolve the long-standing problems at Rush Green roundabout in my constituency. Will my right hon. Friend join me in paying tribute to the many residents and councillors who have campaigned on this issue and encourage the companies to implement the necessary alterations to the site as quickly as possible?

[Mr Rees-Mogg]

We do not want to go round in circles on this issue, but I thank my hon. Friend for her question and the work she is doing in her constituency.
