Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lindsay Hoyle and David Warburton

Monday 14th June 2021 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

Our splendid market towns in fabulous Somerton and Frome are driven by their high streets. They are the engine room of the local economy and the hub of the community, as I am sure everybody saw at the fabulous eat:Castle Cary festival last month.

Friend agree that support for high street businesses is essential both to keep our communities strong and to achieve a swift economic recovery?
