This is an update on laptops provision, Free School Meals distribution, and other measures I am taking to ensure that schools are safe and not disadvantaged by the national lockdown.
I am pleased to say that I have signed a letter to the Chancellor, written by neighbouring MP Andrew Percy, to leverage further financial support for small breweries.
Today, I have signed a joint letter with other Conservative MPs to the CEO of the Independent Parliamentary Salaries' Authority, signalling my opposition to a pay rise for MPs.
Today, I stood up in the Commons to ask the Chancellor if he would extend VAT cuts for hospitality and tourism beyond January next year. These cuts have provided a lifeline for businesses and I am keen to see my local businesses boom in the long-term as a result of this policy.
I have today asked the Education Secretary to review the university application of Scunthorpe resident Hannah Moat in Parliament. Hannah is an elite athlete that was due to study at Loughborough University, but her place was rejected due to a clerical error that her school made when inputting her centre-assessed grade.
