Business of the House

Debate between Linsey Farnsworth and Judith Cummins

Thursday 5th February 2026 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Judith Cummins)]

For the final question, I call Linsey Farnsworth.

[Linsey Farnsworth (Amber Valley) (Lab)]

I am glad to end business questions on a joyful note. Just before Christmas, I launched Amber Valley’s business awards, and encouraged people to nominate their favourite local businesses and to shop locally. After hundreds of nominations, the winners are now in: Basilia and 47 Degrees Coffee in Langley Mill; By HeatherMay and Amber’s Beauty in Ripley; and Beth’s Groom Hut in Waingroves. Will the Leader of the House join me in congratulating the winners, and will he update the House on the support given to small businesses and high streets?
