Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Simon Clarke and John Cryer

Tuesday 1st October 2019 Commons Chamber

[Mr Simon Clarke]

My hon. Friend is right that we need to ensure that the UK shared prosperity fund works for all the regions and nations of our country. I would be delighted to meet her, to ensure that we get all the suggestions from Cornwall as part of the process of designing that new fund.

[John Cryer (Leyton and Wanstead) (Lab)]

Can the Minister answer the question asked earlier by the right hon. Member for Hastings and Rye (Amber Rudd): what is the reason for not suspending the loan charge scheme until the inquiry is completed? It is a request not for a change of policy, but just to suspend the scheme.
