Nick Smith Excerpts

Thursday 25th March 2021 Commons Chamber

[Michael Gove]

It sounds like a brilliant idea. I know that this investment in Falmouth will not cost us a packet; I know that it will be a good investment for the future.

I look forward to working with my hon. Friend for precisely that goal.
